Hi all!

My mate is about to buy himself a '74 Datsun 120Y with 50.000 km's on the clock, original and in near mint condition. It has a 4 speed gearbox. Does anyone know of a 5 speed gearbox that fits this car? Or ways to make a 5 speed box fit easily into it? What is the name of the gearboxes that originally sits in these cars? (Like toyota's 5-speed box was named T50 for the T-family engines) :)

The easiest would be an original 5 speed rwd box for the A12 engine. But I reckon it's pretty hard to find? Like the K engine that sits in the Corollas of the same time. The K50 gearbox is a rare sight, especially in Europe.

In advance, thanks ^^

ahh there is a place here in aus that makes custom bellhousing's for the t50 onto the a12 have a look for dellow automotive
you can get datsun 5 speeds but they cost a fair bit here in aus in the usa they sell fairly cheap
the sereis is
56a dogleg and maybe normal shift?? used behind the 1200 and a12
60a and 60L used behind the a15 a14 datsun sunnys? dogleg and normal shift the latter being the dogleg
and 63a is used behind the a15 in im not to sure what car but it is dogleg
normal shift pattern is
1-3-5
2-4-R
dogleg is
R-2-4
1-3-5

In Europe, I would expect the 1979-1982 B310 (120Y/140Y/150Y) 5-speed to be the most common. Let me know if I'm wrong

These fit any B110 or B210 or B310 vehicle. For more details, see http://wiki.datsun1200.com/index.php/5-Speeds

Thank you so much :)

Here in the UK, 5 speed A series gearbox are extremely hard to get and can be very expensive (

Only late facelift B310 coupes with A15's here had the 5 speed which is why they are so hard to find.

did the 160Y have a 5 speed?
