DRIVEN Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 ^^I guess that would have been a better question to ask :rolleyes: ^^ Link to comment
mozhated Posted May 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 It was mated to an L20B Yea that will help i guess, I will have to look at it in a couple of hours...what do I look for? Link to comment
mozhated Posted May 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Only markings on the tranny I see are that it says L3...so i believe its a dogleg correct me if im wrong. Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Well that narrows it down to two. FS5W71B. Could be from a 620 truck, first year 720 truck, 280z, 280zx or 810/Maxima. They are 31.5" long, and have a front and rear aluminum case sandwiching a 1" thick steel adapter plate between them. There will be at least one reverse lights switch in the front case just above and behind the clutch arm. The front case is heavily ribbed and inside the bell housing the cover plate is held on with 5 bolts. 71B has only 5 bolts around the outside holding the cover plate on. FS5W63A (also known as the dogleg 5 speed) Found on first gen '77-'79 200sx and optional on the '79 HL510. They are 26" long and two aluminum case halves sandwiching a steel adapter plate between them. There are NO switches in the front case half... the reverse lights switch and all other switches are in the rear half. The dogleg case is smooth without ribs or waffleing and inside the bellhousing the cover plate is held on with 7 bolts.. Dogleg cover plate has 7 bolts around the outside holding it on. A picture would confirm what you have . Link to comment
mozhated Posted May 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Yup its the first one you listed, looks just like it. I guess its a FS5W71B so its not a dogleg, its whatever FS5W71B is. So what im I selling here then??? Thanks Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Well that narrows it down FS5W71B. Could be from a 620 truck, first year 720 truck, 280z, 280zx or 810/Maxima. .... A picture would confirm what you have . There were three different gear sets for the 71B. A wide, mid and close ratio. There were several different overdrive ratios as well. Link to comment
SpenOne Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 I have a 2door 70' 510 and a L20B goin in it. Is this a direct bolt in? Or do I gotta mod the drive shaft? Link to comment
elmerfudpucker Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 That is Mike! he knows a bit about greasy asian trannies! Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Nothing is a direct bolt in but the stock transmission. The FS5W71B is longer so the driveshaft will need shortening and balancing and the rear mount modified on the car to fit it. The speedometer cable is further back and on the other side so you may need a longer one and the speedometer drive pinion gear will likely be for a different ratio rear end and also need changing to keep your speedometer accurate. The shifter hole will also need to be moved back slightly to fit. The FS5W71B is quite heavy duty and used on the 280z/zx and Maxima straight sixes and the 620/720 trucks. Link to comment
