flatcat19 Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Freak doesn't have an A10. He has a B310. I think Datsunfreak has a big hard-on against Donovan though. Jeebus. Quote Link to comment

I want to keep the naps z20s engine. If yours is one of the transmissions with a removable bellhousing (and I think it is), you should be able to use an 80-84 Maxima transmission. By swapping on your bellhousing of course. ^_^ I know the Maxima automatics were 4 speeds, and I believe some of the later 280ZX's had one, but I don't think the '80-83 200SX was available with one (the only one with a Z bellhousing).

datsunfreak Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 As for mods, you need to added a couple of wires to control the overdrive (very simple), and you'll have to shorten your driveline since the 4 speed is longer. Quote Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 i dunno, it was unclear. You are not wrong. :rofl: But why switch to a manual and not put in a 5 speed? ^_^ Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 You are not wrong. :rofl: But why switch to a manual and not put in a 5 speed? ^_^ Because anything is an improvement over the 3 speed auto? 1 Quote Link to comment

q-tip Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Only 84 maximas had the 4spd auto, and the od gear is lower than the zx 5 speed. Where's Mike he knows the numbers. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Only 84 maximas had the 4spd auto, and the od gear is lower than the zx 5 speed. As I recall it's an 0.68. Mine was an '84, wasn't 100% sure if other years had them and should have said so. ^_^ edit: Looked up the interchange and gas-powered '83s also had the 4 speed transmission, as well as all years of diesels.

datsunfreak Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 And if you don't believe me and still want to hear it from Mike... :rofl: Nissan Motor Company, and its spinoff, Jatco, have produced a large number of automatic transmissions for many auto makers. The Jatco 3N71B transmission was the first 3-speed automatic transmission from Nissan Motor Company. It was an introduced in '72 as a conventional alternative to the then-ubiquitous and popular Borg-Warner Type 35. It was designed for use with rear wheel drive vehicles with longitudinal engines. Beginning in 1982, it gained a locking torque converter (L3N71B) for greater efficiency, and gained an overdrive 4th gear in 1983 (L4N71B), culminating with preliminary electronic sensors and control functions being added in 1985 (E4N71b).Some sources claim the L means (L)ight duty and E is for medium duty.The above transmission is an L4N71B. The fourth gear is a 0.686 over drive, to make use of the L24 inline six that powered the '84 Maxima wagon that it came out of. This would reduce an engine RPM of 3,000 to just over 2,000! That's over 30%!! The O/D can be turned on or off with an electric switch on the shift handle. This transmission and flex plate should bolt to any 6 bolt L series four cylinder. As you can see the main body of the transmission has been moved to the rear to make room for the O/D gear just behind the bell, and has a shorter rear housing than the 3N71BTop L4N71B with 3N71B just below it.The L4N71B is 82cm long the 3N71B is 79.3cm almost exactly 1" different. The torque converters are similar on the outside only and have different input spline types.The L4N71B (above) appears deeper and you can see some of the hydraulic controls for the O/D between it and the bell.

robopineapple Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 Anyone need a spare l20 or 5 speed? Haha they have been sitting in the wagon serving zero purpose Quote Link to comment
fritzdixxon Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 I could use the 5spd, depending on shipping of costs... does a ka have same trans bolt pattern as an Lblock? Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 Same bolt pattern...just leaning the opposite way. Quote Link to comment
