Swap Notes
3Rotor and Cameron_Datto have fitted W gearboxes to Datsun 1200.
To adapt to the Nissan A Engine:
- Cut & Shut
- Adapter Plate
- 3Rotor: remove the cross-member mounting pods in the tunnel, open up the shifter hole a bit to the back. Cameron had do to "some heating & beating" in the tunnel
- Find/fabricate a 180mm clutch plate to fit the splines of the W
- Newer Ws must swap the electronic speed sensor for a cable drive
W50 Adapter Plate
The W50 Toyota 5-speed can be fitted to a Datsun A-series engine. Use an A-series automatic transmission bellhousing with an adapter plate to fit the W50 gearbox. The W50 is a non-alloy gearbox, and the thickness of the adapter plate would be different for any alloy W gearbox.
Bare adaptor plate to suit an A series auto bell housing and a W50 steel case Celica 5 speed
Adaptor plate bolted to Celica box, clutch fork pivot fitted.
Datsun 56A 4-speed verses a Celica W50 steel case 5-speed fitted with an A series auto bell housing and adaptor plate.
Above: A series 56A 4-speed
Below: W50 Celica 5-speed below. Modified Datsun clutch fork fitted to Celica thrust bearing. Slot cut through the side of an A series auto bell housing . Clutch fork retaining spring and clutch cable mount still to be made.
The input spline lines up exactly
The spigot fits into the back of the A-series crankshaft as per standard but a machined spigot bearing needs to be made to suit the Celica input shaft.
mods need to be made to the clutch fork , thrust baring carrier
A new cross member needs to be made , the tunnel needs a bit of a massage
the speedo cable matches up to the Celica box with no mods.
A clutch needs to be sorted out , a new spiggot baring needs to be made and a new tailshaft is needed.
