Press1 Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 Hi all, does anyone have a good source for Datsun transmission parts? I race a 510 and am rebuilding the transmission. (Pre-81 280zx trans) I need a 23 tooth reverse idler gear. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment
Crashtd420 Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 Haven't used them but they seem to have a lot of stuff for the 71b/71c transmission..... https://www.midwesttrans.com/FS5W71_Manual_Transmission.html Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 I can check when I get home but probably all 71B and maybe even 71C use the same reverse idler gear. I mean why reinvent the wheel??? Probably can just pull one off another junk transmission. Try our classifieds?... https://ratsun.net/classifieds/category/9-datsun-parts/ Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 Well I was wrong. Not used on the FS5W71C at all. Not used on any 71B 4 speed. Early 280zx to Nov. '82 were 23 tooth, after they were 22 tooth. 720 5 speeds to April '84 had them. After they were the 22 tooth All S110 200sx '80 to May '83 had them. After they were the 22 tooth Maxima had them on 5 speeds to April '83, then 22 tooth. All 620 5 speeds had them All 810 5 speeds had them All 280z 5 speeds had them Quote Link to comment
Press1 Posted June 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 Thanks everyone. I have heard the 23 vs 22 tooth thing, and mine has 23 for sure. Also looking for synchros. Any opinions on factory vs aftermarket? Quote Link to comment
