Jason521 Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Ok so i just found a 5 speed to put into my 521. i just have a question on what it really takes to make this swap happen i have the l20 in there with the 4 speed and it just wasnt given me enough so i have to move up to the 5 speed any suggestions on how to mount it under there and whatnot Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 There are several 5 speeds, which one do you have? Picture? Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 I did a 5 speed swap on my old 521 last year. Came out of a 83 Z car.Overall not a hard task but i ran into a few "surprises". Driveshaft had to be shortened... Trans. mount had to be modified [shortened]... Output flange had to be welded [closed off]... i took pics of the process too, lemme know & i can link you to the thread. Quote Link to comment
denveratsun Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Search 5 speed. Been done before plenty. One piece driveshaft...modify the mount,,,freeze plug slammed into the driveshaft flange...modify the shifter cover plate in the cab and drive it really fast. Might...more than likely will...need to pull the motor to help the 5speed fit. Easy actually...just slightly time consuming. SEARCH! Quote Link to comment
