Newbie, need help understanding 63A#2 tranny

[ncpiperpilot]

Hi everyone,

 

I am a new guy here, but had been a long time Datsun owner. Had a '71 510 wagon from 1981 until 1986 (long before they were really cool), then bought a 10th Anniversary 280zx that I had from 1986 until 2011. My son (who was 3 when I got it) is the now the proud owner. Still looks very good and he has won awards at shows with it.

 

I know its heresy, but I now am into British sports cars owning a '53 MG TD, 2 Bugeye Sprite projects and about to pick up a '65 MG Midget project.  Thats where my question comes in. The Midget has an extra tranny, a Datsun 63A#2 with it. I was hoping it was the correct 5-speed for one of the Spridgets, but after investigation appears I need a model 60.

 

So... I think the 63A is useful to Datsun owners, where can this tranny be used?

 

I'd post pics, but I don't seem authorized to do that yet (or I can't figure out the attachment capability on this forum)

 

Thanks...Bill

The 63A is a larger, heavier and stronger 5-speed.

 

Where can it be used? In any RWD Datsun with A-series engine. They originally came in Datsun B210

 

The #2 casting mark has no special significance, the all have that mark.

Bill you are totally allowed to post pictures but I might suggest doing so in the Classified section with al the information. CLASSIFIED is accessed by clicking  at the top of the page. I'm sure some luck B21/210 owner would love one.

Thank you guys!

 

Ugh...have to create a photobucket account or similar.

The tranny your looking for is a 60A

Or the 60L if you prefer the racing shift pattern.

Thanks guys for clarifying. Life would be good if someone had one and needed a 63A instead B) , Once I get all the stuff I just picked up inventoried I'll get this one out on the classifieds.
