WTB: Engine/Transmission plate for L series

[ryknot]

Im in the middle of a 5speed swap in my 620 - I gots all my parts except for the plate that sits between the engine and tranny such as this . .

 

 

 

 

I dont need something all polished up and pretty, just needs to be useable - anybody gots one?? Ill buy it or I have some 620 parts Id trade. . . maybe I have what you need?

Not all engine/transmission/flywheel combinations used an engine plate. Are you sure you need one? It affects the release bearing carrier length. The later cars used them to reduce NVH.

Well I guess I aint sure . .? It just seemed strange that the bottom 3in or so of the flywheel would be exposed to the elements, so I figured I must be missin this part - No? It is a 78 or so 280z 5speed thats going in a 75 620 with the original engine. What do you guys think/know? And what does NVH stand for?

I am sure I have a spare one of these, PM if you have not located one yet.

I haven't seen an L without the plate to cover the front of the transmission.

 

 

You could use one from an automatic. It's two piece but does the same job.

Yes, the front of the transmission is always covered. Some L-series manual transmissions used a 1/2 plate (dust cover) that bolted on after you mate the engine & transmission. Maybe only the early ones?

NVH = Nissan speak for noise, vibration, & harshness

Or basically Nismo DR has a PHD in NVH
