KoHeartsGPA Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 Make a list bud, I have a dogleg that Draker and I are going to tear apart so I can rebuild it, I could sell it to you ready to bolt on, I'm looking at another 5spd right now that would work better for me (won't need to shorten the driveline) so if you're truly interested in the dogleg I'll pull the trigger on the other one :thumbup: Quote Link to comment

KoHeartsGPA Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 It's from a 79 200SX....I'm in verification process....what do you think about them? Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 It's from a 79 200SX....I'm in verification process....what do you think about them? I meant what other 5speed option are you looking for? A short 2wd 720 tranny? Quote Link to comment
KoHeartsGPA Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 Ya, something I won't have to shorten my driveline....mine was auto before and the 4 spd I have now is using same driveline. Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 Yeah, your option is the short 63a dogleg or a 2wd short 720 tranny with a swapped bell housing. The 720 is a stronger transmission. But I like the dogleg.. either is good. 1 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 It's from a 79 200SX....I'm in verification process....what do you think about them? Still a dogleg. 2 Quote Link to comment
KoHeartsGPA Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 Still a dogleg.Yes, but this is what I'm investigating..."200SX through 1979: Short transmission. .... 5-speed with reverse- above-1st gear pattern, same length as stock 4-speed so no driveshaft shortening needed to swap" I wouldn't need to shorten my driveshaft.

flatcat19 Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 But you already have a dogleg, don't you? Quote Link to comment
KoHeartsGPA Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 The long dogleg and it needs to come apart to see why the input shaft doesn't turn when in gear, when I drained the oil it was good, no metal in it nor shavings on the plug magnet.... Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 If you have a lo g dogleg, why not get a long trans from a 620 or ZX? Quote Link to comment
KoHeartsGPA Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 Because I want to avoid shortening my driveshaft and moving back the shifter hole and modifying my center console, I've got one on radar, just need the seller to verify that it is indeed a shorty, if not I'll just rebuild my long one and do the extra mods...

flatcat19 Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 But you already have a long one. What am I missing? Quote Link to comment
KoHeartsGPA Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 But you already have a long one. What am I missing? Long tail #1: 31.5 inches (Mine) Short tail: 26.3 inches (same length as my 4spd) that's what I'm after. The '77-'79 200sx/HL510 tranny uses stock 510 sedan 4-speed ratios with an OD. The '77-'79 200sx/HL510 tranny is the dogleg 5-speed with reverse-above-1st gear pattern, same length as stock 4-speed so no driveshaft shortening needed to swap. This is a well spaced gearset but the OD gear could stand to be slightly taller Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 I know all of that. Do you have a 4 speed in your car still? 1 Quote Link to comment
KoHeartsGPA Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 Yes sir Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 You having the 4 speed was the info I was missing. I actually have an L and a Z dogleg here. Plan is to swap the bells to use the Z dogleg and replace the bearings. 1 Quote Link to comment
KoHeartsGPA Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 Ah ok......ya 4 is good too you reach 60mph, can't wait for that extra gear! Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 I hit 82mph with my 4 speed. What's your issue? Thing is loud as hell at that speed. 1 Quote Link to comment
uberkevin Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 .... damn. Hope my tranny is all good. Hahaha Quote Link to comment
