Can I use this?

[jerryt]

I purchased a new slave cylinder for my transmission. But there are a few differences between the new one and old one. The new one is shorter in length then the old one. And the old one has a solid dowel. Where the new one is longer and threaded on one end. My question is can I use the solid dowel in the new master slave cylinder? The transmission lever does not have hole drilled thru it.

 I imagine you mean the slaves are the same length? If yes then use the solid push rod.

 

You must have a dogleg or a 71B 5 speed as the original 510 clutch arm does have a hole in it and an adjustable push rod.

The solid push rod is shorter then other dowel. The new one has a threaded end. My transmission lever doesn’t have a hole for the threaded dowel. I didn’t know they made a transmission without a hole in the lever. But when I put the shorter solid dowel it seems to make contact on the lever and the clutch slave cylinder

You guys just gave me an idea for the clutch slave on my racing Sprite. There's not a lot of room between the slave and the body on a Sprite and I wonder if the bolt spacing on the Datsun slave is the same. If so, I could use the Datsun truck slave cylinder. Could one of you guys measure the bolt centers for me?

 

Apologies for the thread jack...

Within a mm of 2" so probably an even 50mm in metric.

I was just to try it and see. I made sure clutch fork moved. I need to put in clutch master and then put in brake master. If not one thing it’s another. But I got the car for free so I can’t complain.

thanks
