Jessis wagon needs some much needed love and its nice to have a auto to drove for a day or two if we really need to take some stuff apart on the wagon. (jessi dont drive stick yet) when the wagons in better shape i might start looking into going to a 5 speed, but even then i dont know that i care all that much about it being a 5 speed. Only reason i like manuals is because they are more fun to drive, the 610 is fun all on its own. the 610 is going to be my "cruiser" not my rat-racer. Quote Link to comment
dat77sun Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 well still, i wont be doing anything with the 4 spd im taking out, works great, just gonna swap to 5 spd, would like it to go to use;) Quote Link to comment
skunk Posted January 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 did you look to see if the pass side running light come on when you turn the heater on...haha and yeah actually i did, no such luck. but i did notice that the whole driver side light assembly (inside and out) looks to be new. the bulb does seem to get a little power, just not enough to make it light up. checked the bulb, checked the ground, but i did not check the fuse yet.

It just takes some small getting used to. I goes all right and is less work to drive. Now that I have my 4 spd goon I won't likely convert it over. Mrs. d likes it as is even though she can drive either. Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 I like the fact that my 610 is an auto for a few reasons: #1 being, it keeps me respectable, and I'm alot more careful about how I drive it. It's can be easy to get carried away driving a stick and wind up in a situation that you wouldn't normally get into in an automatic. Yeah, maybe you can't do burn-outs or it's a little doggier, but that insures that it's going to be driven kindly. If you're concerned about getting beaten off the line, don't sweat it; you've got nothing to prove, you're driving a 610 - win or lose they're still jealous :cool: #2, on the trips I have taken to Portland, and been unfortunate enough to have to sit in traffic, the automatic is a stress-saver. No more tiring my leg out in bumper-to-bumper traffic for 45 minutes, terrified about what's happening to my clutch. I just sit, turn up the tunes, and tickle the brake pedal. #3, I'm also enjoying learning how to drive an automatic. I was raised and taught in a manual, so it's like driving a completely different car. You can still shift it, and it's instant; there's no clutch delay. Just 1 less gear than the 4 speed. I wouldn't want an automatic in all of my cars, but in my 610, I'm happy with it. Quote Link to comment
skunk Posted January 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 yeah, i really dont mind it that much. on any other datsun i think i would but yeah. Quote Link to comment
zerow Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 ...Just 1 less gear than the 4 speed. I wouldn't want an automatic in all of my cars, but in my 610, I'm happy with it. Until the thread I started becomes a reality... skunk - Noice 610! What kind of wheels are going on it, I am not familiar with what wheels you are getting. As for the side marker light, it sounds to me like it has the wrong bulb in it. Its getting 12 volts, but probably not the correct wattage. As for the reverse lights, it could be one of two things: 1) the wires at the transmission for the inhibitor switch (mounts on the passenger side of the transmission, follow the shift linkage to where it goes into the transmission). The wire may be disconnected. Or 2), the light comes on in the wrong gear. Same procedure, follow the linkage to the inhibitor switch. get the (10?)mm screw on the side loosened. Use a piece of wire to align the holes while in park. Check for proper operation of the switch. You can see if the switch is operational by having someone (jess?) stand away from the car, and while you have the e-brake on and your foot on the brake pedal, run through each gear one-by-one to see if the light comes on in Neutral, Drive, @nd or 1st. That will tell you right away if its the switch. Not to be an ass, but did you check the bulbs, too? Quote Link to comment
