This ad isn't mine but I'm sure it's of interest to a few people here. I'd get it myself if I didn't just buy a 60a 5 speed.

It seems very well priced, I'm sure it won't last long!

Title changed to better match the direction this thread ended up going.

Not too many drive an A12 nowadays. And $1100 is a lot when you can buy a Toyoda 5-speed for $400 and adapt it.

That factory 5-speed crossmember is nice

32010-7251P Road/Rally Option wide-ratio
Ratios are:
1 - 3.757
2 - 2.374
3 - 1.659
4 - 1.291
5 - 1.000

Dave, while the T50 box is strong the stock ratios still suck. I've been beating up all the options to get a sturdy box with decent ratios that won't cost $2500-$3000........or more.

If I could find the cluster gears for the close ratio 4 speed II have enough parts to build 2 ultra close and one mid close 56 series box................I'd be set for the next 15 years.

The one that just sold was a wide-ratio box (standard GX ratios), so you didn't miss out ...

Might as well bid on it for a spare at that price

Nissan Competition Part No. 32010-7251P is the "Option 1 W/R" gearbox, same as the GX except that 4th gear is 1.291 instead of the GX's 1.254.

why is he advertising it as a close ratio?
also these boxes are not tested just word of mouth
could be crunchier than a kit kat.

Be great if someone made a simple 5cm plate to adapt
a world class Stumpy S10 T5 to a A series bell as
1095-1300usd buys any ratios under the sun and these
boxes are light, easy to rebuild and super common
maybe most avail 5 speed of all time and can be
unbolted easily leaving the bell on the engine.

even have more compact jag kits for the rear

The eternal 5 speed gearbox problem raises its ugly head again.
My memory seems to vaguely recall an escort gearbox grafted onto an A series on a 120 y rally car for sale on ebay .
Surely there must be simply way to do this
