spappy Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 I have a question about rebuilding a 5 speed transmission. The tranny in question was bought by my son for his '73 620. We were told it came out of a Z car, but when we went to bolt it in, it was tilting the wrong way, as would a tranny that was bolted up to a NAPS-Z motor. No problem. We swapped the front half with one that actually was meant to bolt up to an L-motor. It ran and drove great for a couple weeks, until a few days ago when his tranny got stuck in 1st/2nd and 3rd/4th. We pulled it and got it torn apart at a friend's nearby automotive shop. My friend suggested a rebuild kit, as there is what he considers quite a bit of play in the bearings. The only problem is-I don't know what this thing came out of. There was no ID tag between the 2 halves, and all the rebuild kits I have found have 60mm countershaft bearings and ours has a 56mm bearing. If I knew what it came out of that would make it easier (I hope) to find a rebuild kit for it. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 A picture would sure help and perhaps narrow it down. The 62mm bearing was introduced in '85, before that the 56mm was used on all 71B 4 an 5 speeds. The wrong 'tilt' would make it a Z series transmission. So probably an '81-'84 720 or '80-'83 S110 (200sx) 1 Quote Link to comment
spappy Posted December 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Do want pictures of the case halves, the gears, or all of it? It's in my friend's shop right now, and I believe he is out of town, so probably Monday would be the soonest I could upload any pix. I certainly appreciate the help! Thanx! Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Both sides of the tail is fine and the front of the case you removed, if you still have it. Quote Link to comment
