Hi All. Just scored a 60A Series 5 Speeder and going to fit to my 1975 120y 4Dr, Anyone have advise fitting one,? On the cross member and driveshaft I Was told you can get an aftermarket Gearbox Mount/ cross member to fit without any Mod's required ? Also anyone know if STD 120y Driveshaft ok to use or needs any Mods., ? Also anyone heard of the Gearbox Short shift Kit to suit the 60A ? Cheers all, Steve cossee@xtra.co.nz

Bprojects for both

Hi Cheers for that, Do you know if there still operating in OZ ? Can only get to their Asian site, Cheers

60-series 5-speed uses same driveshaft as 56 or 60 series 4-speed.

The gearbox crossmember is a stock B210 piece, but differs from the 56-series crossmember. You can use the existing 1200/120Y crossmember and a simple adapter. See http://datsun1200.com/modules/mediawi ... on#Using_1200_Crossmember

Hi All. Many thanks for the info from Forum, Was a real help.
NOW: DOES ANYONE HAVE a Clutch Fork and Bearing for the 60A 5 Speeder
Gearbox came without it ##### If anyone does, PLEASE Email me at cossee@xtra.co.nz
I live in Paparoa, Northland 0543. So if have one send price including Freight.
Also the Cross member, Checked with BJ Projects and whoa expensive, If any one has one, Either Genuine BJ Projects or one made up to fit I'm interested. If not have to bite bullet and get one from BJ Projects. NEED HELP. Cheers Steve

Clutch fork is same: 4-speed and 5-speed 60-series. Both are the same.

56-series is slightly different. Some say you can mix and match them. Just adjust the cable correctly and it should be no problem.

Finally Got the 60A box and a new Cross member from BJPprojects. Ask now,I've Been told to use Only a Special Grade and Brand of Oil in the 60A ? This correct ? Thanks to members. Cheers Steve. cossee@xtra.co.nz

Not correct. The modern recommendation is still the same one in the 1971 Datsun 1200 owner's manual: API GL-4

Quote:
Modern formulations fully synthetic or partially synthetic mixes. However, many boxes are 30 years old still with good synchros having used regular non-synthetic oil. Keep it full, keep it fresh is the important thing.

See http://datsun1200.com/modules/mediawi ... ssion_Overview#Lubricants

The Factory Service Manual for B310 (from which the 60-series 5-speeds came) adds:

80W-90




There are also some newer formulations like 75W-140. Just use a certified GL-4 transmission gear oil and she'll be right. Don't use GL-5 unless it is listed as yellow-metal-safe.
