metalmonkey47 Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Anyone know what I've got here? Thanks! Looks like a transmission to me. lol In all seriousness though, mike will be here soon with a plethora of answers and information that will fizzle your brain. Quote Link to comment
I'm BLUE Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 datzenmike can be blindfolded , sniff the transmission , and be able to I.D just about any of them for ya , I suggest a P.M his way :D Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Almost looks like a dogleg... smooth bellhousing and that style of shifter.. leave it to Mike, though. He's the guy. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Wierd lookin fella. Maybe for a 210? FS5W60L maybe? Quote Link to comment
sinner720st Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 wow what an uncanning knowledge.... and it seems like everyone knows it... i think mike could make money off of his datsunknowledge... perhaps write a datcyclopedia Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Perhaps I should have said this is a guess. A guess is what's left over when you eliminate some of the other possibilities. It does look like a dogleg. For a 210 I think. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 There was an optional 5 spd. FS5W63A dogleg for the B-210 from April '76 on but this isn't it. The FS5W63A dogleg did not have a reverse light switch in the main body. All switches were in the tailstock. This leaves the F4W60 and F4W60L, both 4 speeds and the FS5W60A and the FS5W60L 5 speeds. They both have a reverse light switch in the main body. The trouble is that the 4 and 5 speeds seem to use the same case and all look the same from the outside. If you can find out if there are 5 gears, then it's a pre '80 FS5W60L NOT FS5W60A 5 speed. The horizontal oil drain plug at the front bottom of the tailstock (picture below is upside dawn) makes it an L, the A has a vertical oil drain plug. Sorry I can't get this resolved any better. Try to shift through the gears and turn the input shaft. Check that it is a dogleg with rev. above 1st and see if there is a fifth gear. Do you have a history on this tranny? Can you post some better pictures? . Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 There was an optional 5 spd. FS5W71B dogleg for the B-210 from April '76 on but this isn't it Correction, the B210 used FS5W63A -- the only 5-speed offered for B210 in north america. Here's some photos: Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 I'm guessing the transmission in the first post is an A14/A15 4-speed (F4W60A). Pictures of the Bell shape and a straight from above photo would help confirm. Quote Link to comment

Here's some photos: :blush: Ha ha yes, my bad. So many numbers, so little memory space. I corrected the text. Thanks ggzilla for keeping me honest. I'm guessing the transmission in the first post is an A14/A15 4-speed (F4W60A). Pictures of the Bell shape and a straight from above photo would help confirm. Yes, likely a 4 speed as they were most common. I couldn't find any differences between the 4 and 5 speed 60 series tranny. Is there a way to tell by looking from above ggzilla??? .

ggzilla Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 Looking above, the 5-speed tail section has a square area where it connects to the transmission. But the side shows it clearly. 5-speed has room after the center plate for a gear. 4-speed has no room. 5-speeds (60L and 60A for A14 engines) Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 maybe this will help. AZhitman can confirm if the mark is '60'. all A14 four speeds are 60L. The 60L 5-speed shown here was only used in 1979. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 Thanks ggzilla it's obvious now. I only have pictures of the 5 speed 60L with the horizontal drain. Any 4 speeds are drawings and the shortness behind the adapter plate isn't so obvious. Perhaps they used the same drawing for the 5 speed. Anyway thanks for the pictures with the added line work. I saved them. Quote Link to comment
