Can the arm/ fork for the throw out bearing for the 63 series box be replaced from any other A series box?or maybe from an L-series? Dealer no longer carries them...Mine is M.I.A. ...and it was hydraulic operated.
Thanks,
Leosnake

Hi leosnake, the 63 is somewhat of a rare bird, so I doubt anyone knows for sure. I would guess that a 63 for L-series engine would use the same throwout lever.

By the way, what did your 63 originally come out of?

leosnake, i think any L-series throw out fork will do the job, I used one out of a Stanza. I just got another 63 box, got it of e-bay from the states for $212 US. I'm very happy about this!

Hello Lemonhead,
I went to our local Nissan dealer...the parts man checked for the fork under the b210/120y 63 box and it was no longer available...after I read your post I went back and asked for the fork for a 200SX with the 63 box ...it is in back order ...had to pay close to $90.00 to find this out! Who knows how long or even if they are able to get that fork!
I'm glad for you on e-bay purchase...didn't think I was competing for that transmission with someone outside of the USA!...But then again...didn't want to pay too much for it and have it sitting in my garage for a few years before I can use it or even if I'll ever use it!

Hello ddgonzal,
My transmission came out of a '78 B210 GX hatchback ...lost the fork during my move to my new house a few years back.
What is upsetting is that I had 2 of these transmissions back in '80 - '83 sitting in the side of my parents home...If I only knew what I know now!!!!

Yeah the L series fork will work... and actually if I remember correctly, the fork was the same from my dad's '79 280ZX (L28) 5 speed. Too bad I'm not at my parents house, I think we have an extra one. There's no way I could get it to you though without me actually going home to find it (over 3000 miles away). But there should be plenty of them L series cars in the junkyards! Good luck.

Hey Lemonhead. How much did it cost to get the box out from america. I'v looked at buying one from the states but the freight was more than the box. How did you do it. Thanks olboy

Well I just solved my problem with the fork!!...I bought another 120Y/ B210 GX with the 63A Dogleg 5 speed transmission!! Yeah!!!
I paid $325.00 for the complete car...good A14, the 5 speed,extra parts from a running car...but non operation status with DMV.
I hate to part out the car...but I don't need another Datsun restoration project!!
I'll use the motor and transmission on my 1200...I'll check to see if the driveshaft bolts up to the 1200 differential.
I researched our old 1200 Yahoo site for the use of B210 parts on our 1200...One post said it could be done but to use everything off the B210 e.g. suspension,crossmember, differential, driveshaft etc.
Any US 1200 people can confirm this?
P.S.
The funny part and to show that Datsun people are a small family...in this large world was the fact these guys know Jaime with the 120Y.
They are actuallly friends...the guy seemed O.K. until he started to talk crap about our 1200's / 120Y's...and talking bad about some of our club members...and praising the 510 to the max.
I love Datsuns...I love Datsuns of all kinds...We don't need people talking #### between different models of the same brand of vehicle!
At least that is the way I think...

Congrats on finding another! I guess that confirms that 63a 5-speeds were not uncommon in B-210 GX cars ...

Quote:Hmmm .. the B210 and B110 driveshafts are the same. So it's not needed. The B210 has a stronger differential though (H150 instead of H145). Either the trans length or the diff length is 40mm different from the B110 parts. Maybe you could measure and tell us?

I used a B-210 A14 engine in my 1200. I didn't change the engine crossmember, and in fact everyone here says the x-member won't fit the 1200. If you measure the width it should be a bit wider.

At another time I put the A15 and 5-speed (60a) from a B310 in my 1200. The rear crossmember doesn't fit the 1200, but a simple piece of metal worked. I used factory driveshaft (unmodified).

The newer B210s have bigger brakes. If yours has the rectangle-pads instead of square pads that's a good swap.

I have a 63A dogleg box and the mainshaft is waaay bigger than normal. Mine was lying on a floor when I got it and the driveshaft was not includedm but luckily they had just gassed it off and the front yoke was still there (stopped oil leaking too I guess).
I just had it welded to a 1200 driveshaft.
Perfecto.......
