Aha - of course - thanks dd.

But I'm not sure if the Stanza's here other than the SSS were sold with 5 speeds. (SSS = 63A box).

Damn you Nissan - why couldn't you have just offered 5 speeds at no extra cost???

Anybody got a USA factory manual for 1981 Datsun 510? If so, double-check this:Quote:
L-series Transmissions

FS5W60L: '81 510, rare. Also dogleg, more common to 210s with a different bell. Very short (shorter than the short-tail).

So whats the breakdown on the code letter 'S' in the trans model ID. As I see it most of it breaks down as follows.

F= Floor shift
S= ?
5= Five speed
W= Wide ratio [standard gearing]
60= 60 series gearbox.
L= Long extention housing. This is the standard length for use in passenger cars. 'Short' in the same box was often the 'R' or remote shift versions often seen in vans. I think the comment above is a comparison of this box for the A series engine against the 'short' box from behind an L series engine.

So what does the 'S' indicate?

I think maybe it stands for synchromesh? Also the L stands for dogleg shift pattern i believe.

There were no gearboxes in this era that were made without synchromesh, so I don't think it would be necessary to add something that signifies that the gearbox DOES have synchro, to differentiate it from those WITHOUT synchro.
For this reason, I do not believe that it is a designator for 'synchromesh'

When a shorter extention housing was used on some versions, the letter 'L' was added to differentiate these versions from the short ones. I believe that the short extention housing models use the letter 'S' as the last character in the gearbox model code for this purpose, although I do not have confirmation of this.

It's the 'S' in the second character position that I am curious about.

I barely recall but the designation of the gearbox in my R32 Skyline was FSW5.. something like that.

I imagine that S stands for the same thing - if some one whos got a Skyline knows maybe they can enlighten us.

Too long ago for me to remember - I can't even remember my password to skylinesaustralia.com
