The B210 63A shaft was designed for this transmission and is the right length for B110, however it uses the larger H150 diff flange.

		+
		+	The B210 or B310 automatic gearboxes are [[Automatic_Transmission|3N71B]] (the same model gearbox as the B110), BUT some years/version use a different size output shaft with a different spline count. Other B310 auto driveshafts fit L-series gearboxes.
		+
		+	B120s have a larger diff so cannot use the B110 driveshaft. So use the B210 63A manual driveshaft, which is designed for the 63A and has the H150 flange which bolts to the B120's H165 diff.
		+
		+	Or perhaps get an L-series 63A, pull both boxes apart, and mix'n'match the parts to make a box with A-series front half and L-series rear half so you have the MUCH much more common L-series output shaft pattern found in millions of cars.

-	The rear engine mount (gearbox mount) brackets are spot-welded on. Don't drill them right out. There is a special spot weld removal drill bit. Go to Mitre 10 or a decent Hardware they will have them. Grab a wire wheel or coarse sand paper sand around the mounts so you expose the spot welds a bit better and then carefully drill with the bit it will leave little lumps and you can file or coarse sand them down smooth. The last thing i would want is more holes in the body and floor -- they are thin enough already.	+	The rear engine mount (gearbox mount) brackets are spot-welded on. Don't drill them right out.

The 63A 5-speed transmission is a large strong gearbox, and was made in a version to fit the A14 engine.

Overview

For an overview of 5-speeds in general, see:

5-Speeds Comparisons, Ratio info, etc.

Album 953 Album 954

The 63A was adapted by Nissan to fill a marketing need in USA for a 5-speed (to compete with the Corolla SR-5) and so the existing 63A for the L-series L14 was modified to fit the small A-series A14 engine. This has two special significances:

• It is strong, suitable for overbored, supercharged or turbocharged A-series engines
• Its successor, the 60-Series Transmission 5-speed is much lighter and so a better fit for A14 and A15 naturally aspirated engines. The 60 is also smaller than 63 and so a better fit in Datsun 1200s.

Datsun gearboxes are numbered by the distance between the centres of the countershaft and the main shaft. The 63-series has 63 mm between the shaft centres, so can fit larger, stronger gears than the smaller 60-series and 56-series boxes.

Debut dates for The 63A 5-speed variants:

• 1973 for L14 PB210 JDM
• 02 1976 for L14 B211 JDM
• 02 1976 for A14 B211 JDM
• 04 1976 for A14 B210 USA

The 63 transmission came with A14-powered B210 (HB210 and HLB210). It was not used by Nissan Competition for racing. Instead the 56-series was recommended for the small cars, and the 71 for the larger cars.

Dogleg Shifter

Like most A-series 5-Speeds, the 63A is uses a "dogleg" shift-pattern (aka 'reverse shift').

Documentation

The 1976.5-1978 USA got B210 Coupes with factory 5-speed transmissions. Here's an advertisement for one - MPG Champion - Datsun B210
Album 1661

The rebuild manual is the 1977 or 1978 B210 Service Manual (north america). It has specs, photos, diagrams and procedures.

When the 63A first appeard 1976-1/2, they put out a supplement, which was rolled into the next service manual (1977). 63A is also covered by 1977-1979 S10 "200SX" manual and 1977-1978 A10 "510" manual.

The 63-series 5-speed for Nissan A Engine came in 1976-1/2 to 1978 Datsun B210 with A14 engine. USA and Japan markets had such cars.

Identification

Check the casting mark on the transmission. '63' identifies the series.

63 has a ring round the middle
Album 1278

56 has a ring around the middle AND lateral ribs
Album 1680

63A has it on the lower right side of the extension housing
Album 26638 Album 22338

The "A" indicates the transmission casting, not the engine type it fits. 63A was made for L-series engines as well as A-series engines.

63 series L-engine vs A-engine

The 63A came in two versions:

• 63A to fit L-series engine
• 63A to fit A-series engine

So check the bellhousing bolt pattern.

Easiest way to do this is measure the hole center spacing of the top 2 holes in the bellhousing on the flat section.

• A-series - ~106mm
• L-series - ~117mm

63 series gearboxes speeds were available for A14 engines and for L-series engines, Z-series engines and J-series engine. So be careful to match the bell pattern and make sure the one you buy fits the A-series.

A-series has starter at about 8:00 O'Clock position
L-series has starter at about 9:00 O'Clock position

4-speed vs 5-speed

Old 63-series 4-speeds have a bottom pan - like an automatic transmission - and are used with L-series, Z-series, and J-series engines.

• Was used in JDM PB210 with L14 as standard fitment (5-speed optional)

4-speeds come with bottom pan (old style) or without bottom pan (new style). If you see the bottom pan, it's a 4-speed
☁

NEWER 4-speed are 71B series and look very much like the 5-speed.

L-series application included:
* 1975-1979 620 USA
* 1980 720 USA
Z-series application included 
* 1980-1981 A10 USA Z20S engine
* 1978-1981 A11 JAPAN Z18/Z16 engine

Clutch

63-series take the L-series type input shaft, but small-diameter (180 mm) A-series size clutch disk.

63-Series 5-speed Swap Notes

In addition to the information in this section, see: 

* Transmission Interchange

Driveshaft

You'll need a propeller shaft with the larger input yoke than other A-series manual transmissions. The B210 63A shaft was designed for this transmission and is the right length for B110, however it uses the larger H150 diff flange.

Solution: use a driveshaft from an AT equipped 1971-1973 B110 or 1974 B210 as it uses the same output shaft and the H145 diff flange.

• The 63A is the same length as the B110/B210 automatic (it is a different length than the B310 automatic)
• Only the 1974 B210 shaft fits a 1200 due to the diff flange

B110 Auto shaft: 1349 mm (53-1/8")
B210 Auto shaft: 1345 mm (end-to-end)

The B210 or B310 automatic gearboxes are 3N71B (the same model gearbox as the B110), BUT some years/version use a different size output shaft with a different spline count. Other B310 auto driveshafts fit L-series gearboxes.

B120s have a larger diff so cannot use the B110 driveshaft. So use the B210 63A manual driveshaft, which is designed for the 63A and has the H150 flange which bolts to the B120's H165 diff.

Or perhaps get an L-series 63A, pull both boxes apart, and mix'n'match the parts to make a box with A-series front half and L-series rear half so you have the MUCH much more common L-series output shaft pattern found in millions of cars.

Automatic Car

It's easy to get the 63 in if your 1200 was originally an automatic - it will have the wider transmission tunnel. Use the automatic Gearbox Mount and make an adapter plate that will move the mounts to the right spot. Some say you can simply reverse the auto mount as-is.

Manual Car

For manual 1200 car, use a bracket
Album 4649

OR, remove the factory mounting bosses from the tunnel, and fabricate new ones:
Album 7604
Note that the factory crossmember mounting brackets have been removed from inside the tunnel. This custom crossmember bolts to the floor.

Tunnel Mounts Removal

Discussion: Tunnel mount removal?

The rear engine mount (gearbox mount) brackets are spot-welded on. Don't drill them right out. There is a special spot weld removal drill bit. Go to Mitre 10 or a decent Hardware they will have them. Grab a wire wheel or coarse sand paper sand around the mounts so you expose the spot welds a bit better and then carefully drill with the bit it will leave little lumps and you can file or coarse sand them down smooth. The last thing i would want is more holes in the body and floor -- they are thin enough already. The only problem is that the spot weld drill bit insanely high-priced.

Speedometer Cable

For RHD 1200s with the short cable, use a Datsun 810 speedometer cable, it's about 150 mm longer.
