My datsun 1200 gear shifter locks on gear No. 2 every time i shift but when i accelerate faster i am able to shift to gear 3 or 1. can any one answer this. Luaks (Kenya)

Cheers, a mate is pulling it apart this weekend so some questions maybe answered... hopefully.
Will keep you posted.


Cheers. Adam.

Ive had a few behind my ca18det I never had any 5th gear problems although the input and cluster sheer teeth if you give it too much also slow shifting & crunchy with decent power. 2nd and 3rd gear break most often. 5th gear is normall only a cruise gear I cant see why it dosnt go in unless maybe the selector fork is broken??
once pulled appart you shoudl be able to see.
Cheers Andrew

I have a stumpy box on a ca18det and it has 5 gears, but does not like changing down into second gear at high revs, but after about 10 laps it seems to be ok. Changes great into 5th tho.

Anyone, surely someone knows about these box's??

Nah, I pulled it from the skyline my self... Its definatly meant to be a five speed, yet it makes no noises or grinds but only has 4 forward gears.

are you sure it's not a P510 (1600) 4 speed?, they run a stumpy short box
