Saw this yesterday at the Nissan j/y and thought of you.

Fuck thats cooool!

Possible a vocational ed teaching aide.  Gears are probably cherry.

[JoeCool]

NICE! :thumbup:

They ruined a perfectly good close ratio 5 spd. If anything it shows when putting the back half together how the forks need to be aligned.

im sure this was done back when they still made them, not like some guy just started cutting up tranny's to make this.

[I'm BLUE]

Neat !! :cool:

 

huh ... Must be a newer "B" series tranny... with those newer style shift-forks ? (I haven't opened up enough to know...)

 

I've mostly seen the early zx B ones and the C series.

^^^ This was my first thought as well.

I have a CA18ET 71B from an '85 200sx that has those wide aluminum forks. That has a L front case so likely from a zx. I guess I missed this post. I was away two weekends ago.

[Xnke]

That's a frankentrans. No L-series transmission got the aluminum forks stock, they were all cast steel until 1984. As far as I know, all the boxes with the aluminum forks also got the externally webbed cases, too.

 

I wish I could get the stock steel forks new, and in the proper diameters, for converting the aluminum fork boxes.

 

That gearbox was made post 1983, but from the looks of things, pre-1996. Possible that it's a pre 1986.5, depending on if it has the double-cone synchro on 2nd gear.

[darrel]

Of the three transmissions I have cracked open, they all had the aluminum forks all were 280zx.

[Xnke]

They weren't factory installed...Factory *replacement* transmissions built after 1983 may or may not have come with the updated forks, depending on which transmission parts were on the shelf at the time the replacement transmission was built. As built, the transmissions installed in cars up to 1983 all had steel forks. Replacement units installed later in the production series of the transmission can come with any mix up of parts Nissan had left over.

All my cases have ribs. Do you have a picture of what exactly you mean by ribs? I have an '85 that has ribs back on the tail that aren't on earlier 5 speeds. It is somewhat like the later 71C.

Short of going out and rooting in the trannys this is the best shot of the wide aluminum forks I have. It's in 1st... Can you see if it has the 'double synchro ring' in second???

[Xnke]

Looks like it does, Mike. The folded-sheetmetal synchro key tells the tale. I've never seen them installed on a single-cone synchro 2nd gear.

[datzenmike]

It's from an '85 S12 CA18ET. Has the 62mm counter bearing and the 3.592 first to get the turbo spinning.

They are in Snohomish, right near Olympic 4X4. It's almost like one stop shopping now that I have the 4x4 :lol:

They are good for when you need that part right now and don't have the time to search through Pick n Pull. Prices are what you'd expect from a specialty J/Y, but worth it considering the convienience and availability.

 

 

Gotta plug Oly too, they really came through on a couple things I needed to get the green truck back on the road. :)

It is probably a replacement box, then...the 2nd gear synchro upgrade didn't happen officially till 86.5, but you're not the first to find one in an earlier car. The 1/2 gear synchros got bigger than the 3/4 synchros back in 1984, and the 62mm countershaft bearing came into play in 1984 with the 300ZX. Supposedly they were all single-cone synchros till 86.5. The one trans I have from 1985 is from a 300ZX, and it has a single-cone synchro, large diameter, but still has the solid style keys.

Thanks for that image, im assuming its a manual transmission? (still learning automobiles so these photos help when i see them)

I always get nervous when i know i got to work on something ive never worked on before and dont even know whats inside of the part im dismantling.

 

Heres a good one for you, i spent 4 hours wondering what was going to be inside that space between the engine and transmission (the bell housing where the clutch resides).

 

Until i took one apart, i thought it would be full of oil :w00t: :rofl:

(now i know if its full of oil, i got one bodacious rear main leak going on there and my engine is likely out of oil)

 

When i bought my truck, it sat for 2 weeks while i sat and read the factory service manual, i learned to repair it by reading that, then got creative when the idea of the carb hit me, so then i started reading mikes posts from back when afro's were still in style. /jk

 

I worked on my truck by having parts of the fsm in my hand and using the images to tell me what to repair. I had absolutely zero interest in working on automobiles till i bought my datssan (nissan and datsun combined spelling fyi). I was one of those "man theres 300 channels and nuthin on kind of guys)
