transmission question

[hoop-d_210]

Hey guys im new here and i got a few questions. i have a 80 210 with a A15 automatic and im picking up a B210 that i believe is a 75 or 76 with a A14 and a 4 speed. Its been sitting for something like 15 years but im trying to find a little bit of information on putting the 4 speed into my car. Is it a pretty straight forward swap or is there something i need to know about ahead of time? Any help would be appreciated thanks ahead of time

Swapping a B210 4-speed into the B310 is fairly straightforward. Use the B210 driveshaft.

 

 

When converting an automatic car to manual, you will need

* manual pedals from another B310 (1979-1982 Datsun 210), as they are different from the B210.

* Bypass the starter inhibitor wiring. This mean adding a jumper wire to the wiring harness that goes down to the automatic.

* Wiring for the reverse lights, etc is different for the two cars (uses different connectors)

ok cool thanks for the info. Guess i need to find a set of pedals i was really hoping i could use the pedals out of the other car but i will start doing some looking

Well they might work ... people have asked before, but no one has ever said. But I know the ones from the 210s work. Most everything about the bodies and interiors are different.

ok thanks again once i get the car to the house i will do some looking and see how much different they are and i will post up on here whatever i find out

Another quick question if anyone happens to know the rear diff ratio on a 80 210 auto and a 75 b210 4 speed?

[ggzilla]

all B210 diff ratio is 3.889

 

1980 B310 with auto could be several different ratios 3.700, 3.889 or 3.454, depending on the engine and whether it is a U, V, or C car. The service manual lists ratios but they don't match the real world. It says on the underhood plate (HB35, HB37, HB39).
