A 4-speed JATCO L4N71 was made during the 1980s. The top gear is an overdrive ratio, for reduced revs at highway speeds. It also has a lockup system (3rd and fourth gears are direct) for fuel-economy approaching that of a manual transmission.

Overview

Will it fit into an automatic-bodied Datsun 1200? Unknown -- try it and let us know.

Looks like six inches of length added in the middle.


Comparo of 3-speed to 4-speed
th_IMG_0129.jpg

  • 4-speed is bigger around at the back, probably requires tunnel mods
  • New rear engine crossmember (gearbox crossmember) will need to be fabricated
  • Wiring changes are needed
  • Swap converter housing with an A-series one
  • Stall speeds vary, so swapping converters may be needed to find one that suits the small engine


Approximate Junkyard Costs:

  • L4N71B 4-speed OD transmission from Pick-N-Pull: $130
  • Flex plate including crank shaft spacers: $20
  • Auto shift lever from early Datsun: $18
  • Kickdown switch and mounting bracket from early Datsun: $3.50
  • Automatic-size Brake pedal: $3
  • Maintainence items (filter, seals, modulator): $32
  • Hard fluid lines from B310: $9
  • Flexible Fluid hoses: $10
  • Radiator with auto-trans coolor lines: ?
  • Driveshaft shortened, rebuilt, balanced: $165
    • length is 2.7 cm (about one inch) longer
  • New rear transmission mount: $25
  • Hardware (bolts, nuts, metal spacers): $15
  • L3N71A/L3N71B converter housing for A-series engine
    • Will this fit on the L4N71B?
