dont worry about fixing it just put a fj20 in it instead !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yep she is a ribbed housing and its only behind a stock A12 lucky for me hey , the gear i need is the reverce gear n sharft

well its definetly a 5 speed a56 which is the doglegged version and is quite rare, u can tell, if its got the ribbed case its the 56 if its smooth its the 60 series, what engine are u running it on, im hoping just the a12, cause the 56 is a bit weak for the a14/15.

ok i checked its a 56a cast on the side and the shift patten is R-2-4
1-3-5

i will see on monday if i can find any other markings on it and get back to you thanks for ur help so far

Quote: The 1200 & the Sunny [120Y] GX had the 56 series. If the A13 or A14 was used, then the car was known by another model name, despite the fact that it would still be B210 based, & it would have had either the 60 series, or, as I believe, some US B210's had the 63 series.
All of the cars that were made with the 1200 or A12 engine, & were manual trans equiped, came with a 56 series box of one sort or another.[3, 4, or 5 speed]

My 56A five speed, the blue one in the picture, has the larger clutch cable hole, which makes it a JDM B210 Sunny [120Y] GX unit.

Daniel it bolted straight into a 1992 LWB ute same as mine clutch cable fitted perfect

i have just been informed it is out of a datsun sunny

Its definately a 56series then John. 1200s had the ribbed case 56series and 120ys onwards had the smooth cased 60seiers with the bigger cluth hole.

looks like this one

damn i just realized u posted the pic of the blue one lol to be honest i have no idea but we just took the old 4 speed out and bolted the new 5 speed in only had to shift where the gearbox crossmember was shifted it forward i think if that helps oh and it has a 56 on the side of it too lol i went into work to find out

It might help if you mention which gearbox you have. 56 series or 60 series.
