dogleg pattern

[Pumpkn210]

Well I got a dogleg in storage(Icehouse wont give it back!) And am buying a 79 210 goon for its reg. pattern. But I am definately interested in the GX engine! PM me with your # and how mutch!

[tdaaj]

the trans is a 63a dogleg

1979 Datsun 210 5-speed is the dogleg pattern. 1980-1982 5-speeds are the regular pattern. But somebody might have swapped them. These are the mid-duty 60-series transmissions.

 

63-series 5-speed is the heavy-duty dogleg, very heavy, holds up well even behind supercharged A14s.

i've never seen a datsun 210 with a factory installed dogleg. are you sure?

 

afaik, only the a-series usa spec datsun to have a dogleg 5spd was the '78 b210 gx, and it was a 63a

 

afaik, the 60a dogleg was for the jdm gx exclusively

I can say that Icehouse and I have seen a 79 210 with a regular A14 and a factory Dog-Leg 5. You have to remember that the 79-80 year change was a blurry time! I have seen multiple 80 model year 210s with the 79 body on them(Mine Included).

don't get me wrong, it's good news to me, but i just find it hard to believe datsun used a 63a on the '78 b210 then switched back to a 60a for the '79 210. if the '79 210 did have a factory dogleg, it must have been a 63a. please prove me wrong!

Yes, the B310 changed mid-1980. Early 1980s had round headlights, later 1980s had square headlights.

 

 

5-speed Details (for A-series engines)

All B-210 5-speeds are 63-series. Only available 1976-1978 (1974 & 1975 USA models had no 5-speed option)

63-series 'big boy' 5-speed for A-series engine

 

63-series vs 60-series 5-speeds

 

From the Nissan Factory repair manuals:

* 1979 B310 5-speed: FS5W60L (dogleg shift)

* 1980-1982 5-speed: FS5W60A (regular shift)

60A vs 60L 5-speed Tranmissions for A-series Engine

 

 

My guess is this:

1. They needed a 5-speed for USA fuel economy. The B110 5-speed was too light for the A14 engine. So they modifed the the 63-series normally used behind the L-engine to fit the A-engine

2. By 1979 they had a new mid-weight 5-speed ready (60L)

3. There were problems with the 60L they quickly modified it into the 60A. The fifth-gear location and mechanical design is quite different... just a guess.

I am not sure what dogleg tran it is. Icehouse still has it:mad: I was just saying that it was a dogleg.

 

I have found it hard to find a non dog 5 for my car. And am ending up buying a 79.5 goon to swap it from!

[ggzilla]

A 'dogleg' transmission has this shift pattern:

 

 

The regular shift pattern has reverse under fifth.

I actually did finally clean out my shed so I can get to it :D I started school so I'm only at Franks once a week or so. If you want to pick it up in seattle I can toss it in the back of my truck.

[Pumpkn210]

Sweet deal Ice!:D

I will call you next week...Gotta get this goon and move into my new place this weekend. :w00t: Wish I had your truck so I could move my shit fastly!
