okay guys, i know this has been covered much in the past but this will be different. this has details and a plan(of sorts), not just will it work blah blah blah.

So the plan is, swap the gutless and scary Auto tranny out of my 1200 coupe and replace it with one from a 74 120y.

Was talking to a mate whos a bit of a dato know it all and he seems to have the attitude of "what could possible go wrong"

So we have:
My stock auto coupe
"74 120y, manual, blown head but with everything there.
engine crane
elbow grease.

The plan:
1 - Roll the 120y over to get all the running gear out. the car is a parts car and a bomb so dont worry
2 - get a new clutch, and the flywheel balanced/resurfaced
3 - get back to the work site
4 - pull my engine out
5 - change gearbox and align everything while its out of the car
6 - put engine and gearbox back in the coupe.
7 - hock up the clutch
8 - and away we go!

does that sound about right? anything major we should look out for? or do something differently?

then after this its extractors and a sidey!

cheers guys

Sounds about right. We just did this here. I would use the flywheel and clutch as-is if it works well in the B210.

drain the oil and gearbox lube befre rolling the car

Dont forget the crank pilot bush

Worried about the tailshaft, if it is a japan-built

Don't forget the pedal box because u need a clutch pedal. Also the inhibitor switch will need to be bridged out at the conector so the car will start. Also I think the gearbox mount will need to be modified as the manual mounts up differently. Hope this helps
