ok sorry for the whole delay, just been really busy, the tailshaft is 1250mm LONG, needs to be 1290 to be hard up against the gearbox, the diff is a h150, went to the wreckers to find an auto diff for it but the only one they had in auto was a borg warner, where abouts in sydney can i get it lengthened or does anyone know anywhere that has datsuns besides smithfield jap wrekcers, cheers

Could be could be we could answer your questions more accurately if you answered ours.

What tail shaft are you using- length etc, what diff do you have??
Dies the car accelerate with no wobble- only on deceleration? Did you get the angles right from gear box to diff? Are the unis ok in your tail shaft?

got my car running and back on the road now, and i've noticed that it makes a vibrating/shaking noise when it gets to about 60-80km's when i release the pedal, do you think that this could be due to the tailshaft being too short???

what is the exact length of the shaft you have atm?and its out of the b210?b310 have longer ones i think

Again what tailshaft are you trying to use ? As a standard manual 120y tailshaft to suit your diff either H150 or BW68 should fit. To tell what diff you have a BW68 has an inspection plate on the back with a number of bolts in it H150 just has the oil filler bolt visible on the back.

Yes, 60-series 5-speeds came out of Sunny B310. The first ones were a dogleg pattern.

60 series were a series not l series. L series were 63 not 60 series.

So 60 series did have a dog leg shift which Is what you have- I have a 63a dogleg l speed but I'm l series infront of it.

I doubt it's an l series as it would still say 63 not 60 on the gear box. Is it cable or hydraulic clutch paddle Arm

yeah definately is a stanza 5 speed, on the side of the bellhousing is 60, but besides that, the guy i bought the engine off posted this up :

1 3 5 so an auto 120y tailshaft would fit nicely? i guess ill go measure it and go find one at the wreckers

Yeah, you sure it's a stanza five speed?

My first question would have to be. Are you sure its a stanza five speed ? Not doubting you just that they take a lot to fit to an A series engine coming from a L series engine. Secondly What tailshaft are you trying to fit ? If its the original manual one from the 120y then it aint a stanza five speed.
