sh4fton Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Hey all, New member, but I've been lurking while looking to buy. I've found a great 260z to potentially buy, but it's got some oddities to it and some issues. Gallery: https://drive.google.com/folderview?...&usp=drive_web First, It's body/frame/exterior is in really solid shape. Repaint in non-original blue/gray is good, originally orange. Second, Interior is great. Now the oddity: Dogleg 5 speed transmission from ??? vehicle... And the negatives: Slow leaks at the rear diff and somewhere around the engine/transmission. I really could use some feedback about: value, costs of leak repairs, how good/bad the dogleg is (fit, original install, longterm use), and general opinions. Really appreciate all feedback!

datzenmike Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 The dogleg 5 speed is just strong enough for an L20B four cylinder. It was used in the first gen A10 (200sx) and the A10 (later HL510). It's not appropriate for a larger six cylinder engine. 1 Quote Link to comment
nullbound Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 That's a very good deal and you should really listen to what Tony D said here for the same topic: http://www.zcar.com/forum/10-70-83-tech-discussion-forum/357545-considering-260z-dogleg-transmission.html Quote Link to comment
