Yet another trans ID please..

[Duncan]

Sorry to ask.  I shifted through a LOT of searches and couldn't come up with what car this was from.

 

This regular shift pattern 5-spd was in the 510 wagon I imported, and I need to get a slave cylinder for it. 

 

Anyone know which slave will work with this?  Thanks for your help!

Looks a lot like my trans. Looks like a 5 speed out of a 720 based on the top gear switch. Fs5w71b

What is your problem, Mike?

Yes, it looks like a 71B 5-speed.

 

If its a non-US Market model, we won't be able to tell which car it came from. For example L18s were sold into the 80s in Japan, and L20B into mid-80s in AUS.

 

A 280ZX slave will probably bolt up to it.

Thanks for the help guys. (except Mike, of course)

 

Hey Mike, sorry my photos are improperly formatted.  I could not find any "how-to" on formatting photos.  Maybe you could send me a link?

 

BTW, how do you breathe with your head so far up your ass?

Looks like a zx 5spd to me, try that one. Pretty much any l series slave will work, some(620) have straight bleeders that are hard to get a piece of tubing on, but they all work in a pinch. I've had 510, 620, and zx on mine because of what was available at the time.

It's an L series 5 speed made after 1980 but imported? From Japan? I don't know what the emissions standards were there but here, if this was 'imported' from Texas, this would be from a carbureted vehicle. Here, this would only be found on the 1980 2wd 720 truck.

 

Any slave used on any 71B 4 or 5 speed should be fine. If this for use in a truck get a '77-'79 620 truck slave, the fitting is on the end for torsion bar clearance. If for use in a car get a 290z, 280zx or 810/Maxima, the fitting is on the side.

 

 

If you want to ID the transmission precisely, pop it off, place in first and place a mark on the input and output splines. Have someone turn the input exactly 10 turns while you count the output turns.

 

2 3/4 turns... wide ratio, definitely a 720 truck transmission (most likely)

3 turns......... mid ratio, 810 or Maxima transmission

3 1/4 turns... close ratio transmission from a 280zx. (very unlikely as it has top gear switches in it)

 

 

PL510 or A10? Not that it matters. Looks like a gear reduction starter on it.

 

Pictures look fine to me.

Most any Datsun L or Z series slave will bolt up to it, the question is which one do you want?

 

510's have manually adjusting slaves with a threaded rod and a return spring, they must use the return spring or the pressure will pack up and destroy the thrust bearing and crank in the engine.

 

Later, the Z cars (and others) use a self adjusting slave with a solid rod and no return spring.

 

Trucks use a slave with the inlet coming straight out the front of the cylinder body.

 

I believe any of these will work, providing you use the corresponding clutch fork. The manual adjust slaves use a fork with a hole in it.

Thanks again folks.  This is my first 510, and I have an Aussie Import that has had some stuff changed on it, so not having a bunch of 510's under my belt makes this a bit of a challenge sometimes.

 

The existing slave has a solid rod and no springs, so I will assume it's a Z unit. 

 

Appreciate the help!

If the transmission has NMCA cast letters then its from a 910.

[datzenmike]

I have at least two 71B 5 speeds that were NMCA cast in Australia. One was an '85 CA18ET 200sx and the other a '85 or '86 720 gas engine 5 speed.
