from these 2 pictures, can the gearbox be identified as a 5-speed?







I couldnt tell it from a 4spd, but these are the only pics I have

4 speed knob, on a square lights sunny.
not 5 speed, 95% certain.

I was going to ask..."are you joking??"

Its at a wrecked vehicle auction, and the ad says its a 5-speed. I sent them an email but I thought I'd chuck it up here and see if there's some identifying feature i'd missed.

judging by the engine bay pic I'd say it's has a 63A gearbox in it.... as it looks like it has a hydraulic clutch...

and the 63A is the only A series gearbox that has a hydraulic clutch... 56a, 60A, and 60L 4& 5 speed are all cable...

... unless your 1200/120Y/Sunny is LHD!

thats what I thought too mawler, but the 63a has a chunkier gearstick I thought... L-series ones do

Wow, being able t tell if its a 5 or 4 spd jus by looking a pic of d engine and d interior. Im empressed. U guys really know ur datsuns well.

Thats not a clutch master cylinder ... it's the fuel filter, the clutch cable can be easily seen beside the brake booster. From what I can see theres no way of telling whether it's a 4 or 5 speed.
No Sunny came out in Aus with a 5speed except for the very last imported station wagon which VERY few of them had a 63a series gearboxes.

Geeeez I don't know how anyone can identify it as being a 5 speed from those pics.

Maybe if you took a pic of the bellhousing up close, to see if it had a smooth case (5-speed) or if it had ridges along it (4-speed)
then that would help.

So I take it that you have only seen it in these pics, otherwise you would of tried out the gearbox to see if it selected a 5th gear Also that's the fuel filter sitting along side the dual master cylinder, not a hydralic clutch cylinder.

GO THE DATTO!

just got a reply from the auction site, its a 4-speed

It could have been a '1200rallycar 5 speed'.
Those bastard gearboxes with the void above reverse

I also thought the puzzle was pretty hard. I laughed for about 5 seconds when I first saw the photos.
