A stumpy transmission is 26.3 inches overall length -- the same length as a Datsun 1200 transmission. The classic 'stumpy' is the 71C tranmission from a Skyline, although there is a 63-series version commonly called a 'shorty'. These are the right length for a 1200, and the shifter comes up in the stock location, though obviously they are much larger around. There are 4-speed and 5-Speeds in this length.
63-Series
- FS5C63A: Mid-close ratio for Z-series engines
- FS5W63A: Wide ratio for L-series and A-series engines
The 5-speed is commonly called the 'dogleg' box because it has a dogleg shift pattern. However, this is not a great nickname as some other Datsun transmissions have a doglog shift pattern like the 56A 5-speed which is the same length.
NOTE: 63-series 5-speeds came in both short and long lengths. Measure to be sure which one you are getting. The long version is 31.5 inches long.
63-series 4-speeds can be identified by the removable pan on the bottom of the gearbox.
63-series 5-speeds appeared starting 1976-1/2.
A-series Engine
- 1976-1978 HB210 (A14 powered B210) FS5W63A
L-series Engine
- 1977-1979 Datsun S10 (Silvia/200SX) 5-speed
- 1978-1979 Datsun A10 (Stanza/Violet/510) 4-speed
- 1978-1979 Datsun A10 (Stanza/Violet/510) OPTION 5-speed
- 1968-1973 Datsun 510 4-speed F4W63
- 1977-1978 Datsun 610 5-speed
- 1972-1973 Datsun 620 USA (early with L16 engine) F4W63
- Datsun 710 4-speed F4W63
- Datsun 521 with L16 engine has a shorty F4W63, but with flanged output shaft
Z-series Engine
- 1980-1981 Datsun A10 (Stanza/Violet/510) 4-speed
- 1980-1981 Datsun A10 (Stanza/Violet/510) 5-speed
A14 FS5W63A comparo L20B FS5W63A
S10 L20B 5-speeed (wide ratio) 1st 3.382 2nd 2.013 3rd 1.3121 4th 1.000 5th 0.854
S110 Z20S engine (mid-close ratio) 1st 3.170 2nd 1.921 3rd 1.312 4th 1.000 5th 0.854
Do not confuse the shorty with a long-tail 63-series 5-speed:
71-Series
- Skyline DR30 (FJ20 engine with 71C)
- Datsun 720 pickup USA (71B)
Interchangeability
63-series 5-speed transmission parts swap to other 63-series 5-speeds.
- 4-speed to 5-speed: Complete unit swaps. Parts do not.
- L-series to A-series to Z-series. Front case (including bell housing) swaps
71 to 71 front cases interchange.
