a2lowvw Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 after doing a quick search it looks like all the older datsuns use the same spline but the offset for the turnsignals and horn are different. may have a gap and turn signals that don't turn off Quote Link to comment
konig209 Posted March 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Okay thanks i appreciate it. Quote Link to comment
jon521 Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) im running a z car wheel. splines match up, but turn signals dont reset and there is gap. crackerjack69 told me a way of moving everything up to the wheel so there is no gap and the turn signals reset, but it was for a 620 edit: damn my truck was messy when i took this picture...

konig209 Posted March 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 I think i have a five speed. Quote Link to comment
jon521 Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 you think you do? Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 haha i dont have the right plate for the 5 speed yet :) They didn't make a plate for a longshaft 5 speed in a 521, you have to fabricate one. Quote Link to comment
konig209 Posted March 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 I played with the shifter and there are six slots for it to go into. Quote Link to comment

Does the shifter stick come out the stock hole in the plate, as I am assuming you have not drove it yet. Has the plate had a new hole cut in it, or does it even have a plate yet?

jon521 Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 looks like the stock 4 speed. would a short tail 5 speed come up in the stock location? Quote Link to comment
konig209 Posted March 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Doesnt look tampered with but there is six locations where the shifter goes into. So idk Quote Link to comment
jon521 Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 when your driveline comes out of your transmission, does it look like a slipe yoke or a 4 bolt flange? Quote Link to comment

wayno Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Doesnt look tampered with but there is six locations where the shifter goes into. So idk It could have a dogleg in it, the shifter will be in the same position as the 4 speed shifter. Quote Link to comment
konig209 Posted March 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Iono guess ill find out when i drive....heres another question it has alot of play when in gear there a way to fix that? Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Iono guess ill find out when i drive....heres another question it has alot of play when in gear there a way to fix that? Are you talking about a lot of play in the trans. shifter lever? There are bushings in the shifter lever that make it difficult to get into position, and also make it difficult to align the hole to put the pin threw to hold it there, if them bushings are missing or worn, the shifter will be sloppy. You know where reverse is in a dogleg transmission? Quote Link to comment
konig209 Posted March 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 I was testing all my lights and reverse is on the far bottom right corner. Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 I was testing all my lights and reverse is on the far bottom right corner. 1 3 5 2 4 R For a shortshaft 5 spd. transmission to have this above shift pattern, it would have had to be built from two differant transmissions for it to bolt to a L block, as nissan never built a shortshaft 5 spd. with this shift pattern for a L block that I know of. Now I am not saying that your 5 speed trans. doesn't have the above shift pattern, as I have built several of them myself and run them in my 521s, but someone would have had to build it themselves. Here is a link on how to put one together. http://community.rat...__fromsearch__1 R 2 4 1 3 5 They did build a shortshaft 5 spd. with this shift pattern, it's a dogleg 5 speed, it was built for the 200SX from 77-79 with the L20b, it's a common 5 speed to put into the 510, 521 and early 620 vehicles. There are several switches on the 5 spd. transmissions, one which controls the rev. light, but there quite possibly could be one that activates when the trans. is put in 5th, so to know for sure where reverse is in your transmission, you have to turn the input shaft one way, and see the output shaft turn the other way.
