Which transmissions bolt into the 1200, and what is involved in swapping them? Basically any B110, B210 or B310 gearbox will bolt to any Nissan A Engine, but minor fabrication is needed in some cases. In no case will a custom driveshaft be needed - if you can source the appropriate factory shaft.

Strength
* 60-Series Transmission add lightness for best performance suitable for the torque of an A12 or A13
* 60-Series Transmission are stronger, but heavier suitable for the torque of an A14 or A15
* 63-Series Transmission are larger and very heavy Fitted to five-speed B210 with A14 engine suitable for supercharged A-series engines
The 63 gearbox was designed for the 1.6/1.8 liter class, but used in the B210 because a lighter 5-speed was not available in 1976.
Sources
B110
* 3W56R - three-speed column shift * F4W56L - early 1200s * F4W56A - lates 1200s * FS5C56A - Datsun 1200 GX-5
B210
A12-powered * F4W56A - B210 with A12 engine * FS5C56A - B210 with A12 engine, five-speed
A14-powered * F4W60 - 60-Series Transmission, four-speed * FS5W63A - 63-Series Transmission, five-speed
Overview
Only these interchange. They can be bolted in place of each other no matter which car they came from:
* four-speeds for A14/A15 engines * four-speeds for A12/A13/A12A engines
There are several minor differences between the others that prevent a strict interchange, although they can all be swapped with some additional parts sourcing or minor fabrication.
- gearbox mount location
- reverse lamp location
- transmission length and output spline
- torque rating. The 56 is not recommended behind A14/A15
4-speeds - F4W60 fitted to A14/A15 - F4W56A fitted to A12A The mount points for the crossmember differ
5-speeds - FS5W63A fitted to B210 - FS5W60 fitted to B310 The mount points for the crossmember differ The output spline and length differs
60-series are same length both 4-speed and 5-speed. The output splines are same. Ditto for the lighter 56-series 4-speed. You need to fabricate a mount adapter to swap these in a B210. B310 came with 3 different crossmembers which will bolt to any B310 so factory parts can be used.
