did you drive it before you removed it ?
if so, how did it drive ?
for a good one you be looking $1k up maybe ?
but like everything datsun its only worth what someone'll pay

Gearbox is out! Has a large '60' stamped on its side. First is bottom left. No ribs on bell housing.Hope thats enough info to to identify it!

At the moment it is an expression of interest. If I get a good offer, il sell it!

will give an anwer to day. Will remove frokm the car today!

It's a dogleg shift, so that rules out only the later 60 series as this was the only conventional shift 5 speed on offer.

has it got a smooth type bellhousing or a ribbed type?

like this



or like the bottom one here?

sorry for the late reply. Cant seem to see a number stamped on the side of the gearbox casing. I will need to kack it up or put it over the pit which I will do very soon. What I was able to see on the top of the bellhousing was the number 8747633 stamped. I will jack it up later today and keep you guys informed.

It runs a cable clutch setup and first gear is in the lower left position!

Do we know what this box is... 56A... 60A... 60L... 63A... ???

Correct, but so does the left drive versions of the two 60 series gearboxes & since ALL of the 5 speeds that exist within Australia are essentially private imports, we can not rule out these.

There were no left drive 56A five speed gearboxes as far as I can tell, but all left drive models used hydraulic clutch operation.

correct,
