hay can anyone help me i want to know if a 60a 4 speed a14 gearbox rear extension housing will fit on to a vanette box? any help would be great

Cheap 5 speed hey? I think you will find that the 5th gear resides in the extension housing and will cause problems. I would like to be told differently though!

I don't know for sure, but I will be watching this thread. . .

Do you have a 5 speed vanette box? A datsun wrecker here in WA told me they only came out in 4 speeds. Spewing cos I have a busted 5 speed I'm trying to get spares for.

I'm interested too cause the vanette boxes are pretty cheap here, and I don't have a 60a four speed to muck around with, but I've got the vanette box.

i was looking for an a15 and the guy at the wrecker said a fella came in and bought the whole vanette driveline for his 120y, converting the 5spd to floorshift, so if thats any help, most likely not. but yeah....

A column shift 120Y, interesting. . .something different. . .

If you have a blown 5 speed, in theory would should be able to swap extension housings with a vanette unit and be on your way with a boring old floor shift.

you can get vanette boxs in both 4 and 5 speed i was told the high roof ones have the five speed but with the 4 speed conversion i'm trying to do i've also been told that the out put shaft in about 4 inchs shorter???

Like mentioned earlier, I think 5th gear is in the rear extension so I don

Hmmm, I have a vanette with a high roof, makes a great rolling cupbord for all my bits. I haven't looked at the gearbox and there is no gear selector as it was a parts van. where abouts on the gearbox is the type number? I don't wanna hang around it for too long cos I just found the first snakeskin of the season

Quote:i know a 4 speed rear housing won't fit on to 5 speed box what i want to do is put a 4 speed floor shift rear housing on to a same type vanette 4 speed column box
