Neatus Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 Hi, first post here after like seven months lurking. I am looking for some clarity on a trans swap. I may have access to a b210 with the FS5W60A 5 speed. I live in an area with long highway expanses that I would like to use my 73 620 on. Any chance this 5 speed would fit easily to my L16? Reading elsewhere on Ratsun it seems like it would but when I look at pictures of the this model trans it seems like the bolt hole at the top left of the rib is to far to the left. Are my eyes crooked? Thanks. 1973 Datsun 620, L16 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 The 60A 4 and 5 speeds only fit the A series of engines and not the L. The B-210 also only used an FS5W63A optional 5 speed, if you have an FS5W60A then it's from an '80-'82 210 car also only with an A series engine. If you were told it was from a B-210 they were mistaken. This is still a very desirable transmission for B-210, later 210s and the are sought after by MG owners. The only 5 speed transmission that will virtually 'drop in' is the FS5W63A from the '77-'79 S10 200sx and the somewhat rare '78-'79 A10 HL510. These years all had L series engines.

Draker Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 60a even if it would fit, would be way too weak. It’s for a 1.2L engine. It’s basically a toy lol. Great for A series engines though!! Quote Link to comment
Neatus Posted January 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 Okay gents, thanks. I think the lady doesn't know what she has. It looks like it is a B310 like 80-82? She swears it is a 78 B210 but the vin plate/tag says Type: KPB310 Chassis No: JN1PB04S8B9246977 Model: KPLB310EUC (last two digits illegible so may be wrong) Color, Trim: 809 B Engine: A15(S) 1488 Trans Axle: FS5W60A HB37 Thanks for the help!

datzenmike Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 The 60A 5 speed was used on the A14/A15 210 wasn't it? The A12 in the 1200 and A13 in the B-210 got the 56A and the A14 got the 60A all four speeds. Quote Link to comment

The 17 digit VIN is a give away. It was introduced on all cars starting in '81. From '80 on, the 210 had rectangular headlights. The B-210 did not use the A15 engine. Also says B-310 which is also the 210 Quote Link to comment

I will look for my 5 speed elsewhere 🙂 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 If not interested in the FS5W60A maybe make it available to someone who does want one. 1 Quote Link to comment
KELMO Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 Just make sure it dosen't go into an MG.😁 2 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 How much for the car? That is an extremely sought after transmission.. and the A15 is desirable as well. 1 Quote Link to comment

Neatus Posted January 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 Probably needs to he put on a trailer. I don't have any space for it at the moment. Quote Link to comment
