80datson Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Just wondering if the 1970 l 16 5 speed will fit ka24 ? Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 LMFAO!!! first off, there is no 1970 L16 5speed to my knowledge. Secondly, why not use the KA tranny? Third, somethings going to break... Quote Link to comment
80datson Posted August 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 firstly; its a 5 speed l16 trans. the truck was 1970s so dont get yr panties in a bunch RELAX!... Secodnly; why spend 150 somthin on cut/bal, a drive shaft when i can use that for a stumpy trans and not have to cut a new shifter hole and i can still use my center consol and use my stock drive shaft. Thridly; whats going to break? Fourthy; im not that desperate to hack up my dime just to fit something in when i know there is a more ELEGENT way around it. Quote Link to comment
80datson Posted August 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 or maby its just a dogleg.. i came up. Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Yea, its probably a dogleg (out of late 70's 200sx or 510,not a truck)... and if that is the case, you will break it behind a KA. They can barely hold together from a L20. It might also be a truck 5speed, which are alot stronger than the dogleg. And I am relaxed, hence my laughing. You are the one taking offence at an internet post, RELAX! lolz Im not even sure it bolts up, maybe Mike will show up! Quote Link to comment

Neither will bolt up properly to the KA anyway. (to be fair, it will bolt to the engine but it won't work in the car, trust me) 3/ There is nothing to 'hack up' when putting a longtail 5 speed into a 510. Well you may have to move the shifter hole back a few inches.But this is the price you pay for a proper KA 5 speed. Anything else you will be removing it and wishing you had done it right the first time. Quote Link to comment

Laecaon Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 sell the dogleg, if it is. Reverse is top left.They can be worth some money. Quote Link to comment
VintageRice Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Sell me the KA trans and use whatever you want....... :D Quote Link to comment

If you have a dogleg sell to someone who wants and can use it . Don't give back to a yard, they don't have a clue. Any Z series motor, as used in the 720 or the '80-'83 S110, (200sx) will bolt to the KA but, only the shorty used in some 720s will fit close enough to maby not need cutting the shift hole. The 720 also came with a diesel motor option and that transmission bell is different. Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 All Z series transmissions from th 720 and the second gen 200sx will bolt up correctly but the shorty is only found on the 720 trucks. Exactly which models got i, I do not know. Contact Doug (Sealick) on here, he has more knowledge on this. Here's one... http://community.ratsun.net/topic/34384-5-spd-tranny/page__p__524370__fromsearch__1?do=findComment&comment=524370 Quote Link to comment
