Hi Jimmy and welcome to Ratsun.

 

That is an L series FS5W63A Dogleg 5 speed transmission. Dogleg describes the 1st to second shift pattern. It was first used in an A series configuration on the mid '76 B-210. It was the standard equipped manual transmission for the '77-'79 S10 (200sx) and optionally available on some models of the '78-'79 A10 (later HL510) and in Z series configuration on the '80-'81 A10.

 

This is a nice light duty 5 speed for cars with small displacement engines. It's most popular because it's the same length as the 4 speeds it replaces so no shortening of the driveshaft. The shifter and the speedometer are also in the same position as the four speeds too.
