mhub91 Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 I"ve got a 1976 B210 A14, 4 door sedan. 4 speed manual trans.... Grinds 2nd gear, pops out of 3rd and 4th. I know the syncros are shot, BUT, my question is can I use my F4W63L from a '73(?) Datsun 620?? Can I swap the bell housing like with L / Z series 71B trans? Thanks in advance, I don't know much about these little B210 or their drivetrain. Quote Link to comment

Is this the Orange 4 door b210 one? Pictures please, oh Please correct me if I'm wrong. ggzill is your man on a series.B210 5-speed is *not* an L-series transmission. It is FS5W63A with A-series front cover (bellhousing/front half of the transmissions case). There is an L-series version of the FS5W63A, but they are different transmissions. Quote Link to comment
mhub91 Posted May 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Well, the 63L was a JDM 4 speed for the B210..... However it was also used on J and L series. The 63L was the little 4 speed that had a fluid pan like an A/T trans even though it is manual. Quote Link to comment
mhub91 Posted May 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 And the 63A that you quoted ggzilla on is a 5 speed. I'm talking about the 63L 4spd Quote Link to comment

datsunaholic Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Unless you actually have a 63L A-series trans to swap the parts into then no. It's not a bellhousing, it's the whole front case. The 63L parts won't fit in the 56 or 60-series B210 case. And the L-series bell pattern is way different from the A-series so you can't just swap transmissions without swapping the engine (and a whole lot of other mods to make that combo fit).

Thanks in advance, I don't know much about these little B210 or their drivetrain. The F4W63L is only two pieces. The tail and the combined main and front case. If an L series it won't fit an A series. You could removes all the gears and internal parts and swap them. Well, the 63L was a JDM 4 speed for the B210..... However it was also used on J and L series. The 63L was the little 4 speed that had a fluid pan like an A/T trans even though it is manual. A J or L series F4W63L does not help you if you have an A series engine. Your A series came with an F4W56A or F4W60 four speed. After '76 an FS5W63A dogleg 5 speed was offered in the B-210. On the later 210 (B310) during '79 an FS5W60L dogleg 5 speed was offered, and from '80 on an FS5W60A (regular pattern) 5 speed was available for the A series. Quote Link to comment

Yeah, Looks like I didn't look close enough to see there isn't a bellhousing, rather just two pieces. Thank you! Andrew helped locate me one local (ish) for $50. Not bad. 1 Quote Link to comment
