Hi guys I'm new to the forums and I saw a Datsun B210 for sale but it has an automatic transmission in it. I find automatics boring to drive so I wanted to do the 5 speed swap but I have a few questions.
Specs that I know of on the car: Year: 1975 Engine: A13 Body Style: Two Door Sedan
I was looking for a transmission to swap and I think I found one. The guy said it came off of a Z car and it's a 5 speed. He also told me that it should bolt up to the A13 without a problem as long as I put the bell housing from the automatic onto the 5 speed tranny.
If it really does bolt right up with just the bell housings switched what else do I need for the swap?
This is what I think I need, Flywheel, clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing, fork, pedals, shifter, shifter boot, shifter knob, drive shaft (What size?).
Am I going to need to fabricate something to hold the new transmission or will it fit? Will the starter need to be changed? What kind of flywheel, clutch, and pressure plate will I be getting?
I was just thinking, will the automatic bell housing have a spot for the fork that is used for the throw out bearing?
Thanks
