Auto trans filter & gasket

[mattyhacks71]

Does anyone have a parts number/know where to get a filter and pan gasket for the column shift 3 speed? I got a fram kit part #ft1044A but its wrong. I would really appreciate some help as it's been a frustrating few days.

Thanks!

a filter and pan gasket for the column shift 3 speed - what car and what year?

10/1969 Datsun 510

If it's the same 3spd automatic that my 73' 610 has, the part number from Napa is 1-5127. I know the 71-73 510 had the same transmission.

Oct 1969 build is a 1970 model year.

 

My 1969 510 had the Borg Warner automatic.

 

Well in any case you know which filter is the wrong one. So get the other one.

I think the proper code is FT1045A. That comes with the gasket. Was used on a few other cars as well.

Same Borg Warner auto that comes in the 411s.

Up to April '71 several variants of the BorgWarner 35 were used in the 510. From April '71 the in house JATCO 3N71B was used. BTW for about 3 months the column shift was retained before switching to the floor shift in the '72 model year.

As noted above, 2 different Borg Warner automatic transmissions were used in the 510.  The early models used the British Borg Warner with a mechanical downshift cable.  Later models used the Muncie Indiana unit with vacuum downshift.  If you have a  cable snaking its way down the driver's side of the engine block then you have the British made unit.

Mike do you happen to have a source for getting the downshift cable for the early Borg Warner Trans.

[datzenmike]

nope.

 

If you have the old one you might get one made to match. A friend used to have a motorcycle shop and he custom made brake and clutch cables.

I do not have one for a sample so please if you run across 1 keep me in mind.  I think that AZHitman (Greg) ended having one done by a motorcycle shop for Alice his 67 411 Wagon.

Thanks for the help guys, I was able to get the stuff at a local trans shop

Be VERY cautious about replacing the British Borg Warner downshift cable!  Best left to a transmission shop that really knows what they are doing.  You must tap into the internal hydraulics, install a pressure meter and then really know what you are doing otherwise there is a short time period to do the adjustment without frying the transmission.  By the way, NEVER lubricate this cable.
