HayesK Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 I am purchasing the bearing kit to overhaul the 71b. I have the 62mm countershaft bearing (I verified). Currently I am looking at this set but it obviously says 56OD cluster bearing. https://www.transmissionpartsdistributors.com/fs5w71a-fs5w71b-fs5w71c-transmission-rebuild-kit-with-synchro-rings-fits-77-84-datsun-nissan-200sx-280z-280zx-maxima-pickup-bk104ws/ I have found this other link to another kit, but it says 71c, right size counter shaft bearing. But I am unsure if the innards fit? If someone would just tell me exactly what to order that would be great. lol. https://www.transmissionpartsdistributors.com/fs5w71c-transmission-rebuild-kit-with-synchro-rings-fits-84-86-nissan-720-pickup-bk133ws/?searchid=0&search_query=86+Nissan+720 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 First one is for the earlier 71B and has the 56mm counter bearing. The '62mm counter bearing is for the '85 and up transmissions. Second one is the one you want.... THIS KIT INCLUDES A 62mm O.D. (2.440") FRONT COUNTER SHAFT BEARING. IF YOUR FRONT COUNTER SHAFT BEARING MEASURES 56mm O.D., PLEASE INQUIRE ABOUT OUR OTHER KIT WHICH SPECIFICALLY FITS THE 56mm. Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 They say '84 but the change to the 62mm counter bearing was for the '85 model year. Quote Link to comment
