Transmission Bell Housing Identification

Good Evening Ratsuners!

In the picture is a 5W71C transmission out of a 2wd truck. From the photo is it possible to determine if this transmission attaches to a Z24i, a KA24E, a KA24DE or a V6?

Thank you

The Z series engines and the KA series have the exact same engine to transmission bolt pattern and orientation. So in the picture above it will fit the Z24i the KA24E and the KA24DE. Won't fit the VG30 series engines.

Although I am fairly certain of the answer, it is my understanding that the 71C transmission in the picture, that originally was included in a 2wd Nissan truck, now confirmed attached to a 4 cylinder engine, will be compatible, with minor modification, for use in a 4wd 1984/1985 4wd 720 with a Z24i and a divorced transfer case. For my peace of mind.

Since you are showing "Trans porn" here is a shot of what you are looking for. The only difference I see is my tranny still has the stick.

I think ]2eDeYe's transmission mount will be needed and as I have never measured the length of the 2wd D21 71C (around 30"?) the primary driveshaft probably will need to be lengthened if you have the long 71B or perhaps shortened if you have the shorty 71B.

Transmission mount adapter is simple piece of plate with identical thickness spacers between frame and trans crossmember to get a net zero change in rear trans height.

Did you fab one up or purchase the one that other Ratsuner produces?

Please tell me the rubber boot and the stick are common readily available pieces. I would hate to get this far and forced to buy an super double rare shifter only sold to "worthy" individuals during a full moon on the leap year.

Any '86 and up Hardbody will have them.
