kwoo510 Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 anyone interested? http://fresno.craigslist.org/pts/865735217.html Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 These are a very tough 5 spd. with a double syncro second gear. An L or Z front case will fit on if you swap the lower front counter shaft bearing for a smaller FS5W71B type and drill out the shift rod holes to 16mm. Minor clearance grinding may be required inside the case too. The C type are about 2" longer than the B type. I would love to try one from what I've heard about them. Link to comment
ppeters914 Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 So you still need a C case with a L bell to fit to a L engine, right? :mellow: Link to comment
bonvo Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 datzen mike would a dog leg bell work? if so that would be a nice swap Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 So you still need a C case with a L bell to fit to a L engine, right? :mellow: There are no C cases with L bell. The front bell from a B 5spd will fit over the C tranny gears. datzen mike would a dog leg bell work? if so that would be a nice swap No. Only the 5spd. B type will work. The F4W71B 4 speed bell WON'T work either. Link to comment

I've just finished the C bell housing/B gearbox tranny. The opposite of what you describe. That's why I am selling this C gearbox. I believe I have the B bell housing from a nap z engine also available if anyone interested. Edited October 8, 2008 by kwoo510 Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 So you put a larger counter shaft bearing on? What about the different size shift rods? I assume that's not an L series tranny on the back. Link to comment

I assume that's not an L series tranny on the back. No, I use the entire gearbox from the 720 4x4 tranny. The first/second shift rod hole on the bell housing is slightly bigger than the 720 tranny shift rod, I was told I need to make a bushing to take out the slag. Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Ah good. Then that's a block off plug on the speedo outlet near the bottom? This is a 5spd right? Link to comment
