Not clueless. Just like others that have previously attempted. They wanted to make sure and get advice/information about certain spec's before getting a part that would eventually work with a little or a lot of fab work.
I am aware that it isn't documented well.. I've done a lot of reading and still needing information because of it. My goal by this swap is to continually edit my first post on this topic with a guide and document it to my best for others in our community on ratsun.com
I do appreciate the list so far though. Thanks!
Well, I'm planning on making the swap... but I'm not sure as to what is all needed. As you can tell, I'm not a mechanic... but I do have this awesome car that I've wanted to have fun with. I am aware that this vehicle is full of headaches! Haha.. I am also aware that it's going to be worse that it's my first project.
I've got 1 question requiring multiple answers.What are all the parts that I will need to complete this swap? Once I get them all. I'll bump this topic back up and show you all some pictures as progress goes on. :rofl:
*Side note: The car is all original.*
Here's a list of the parts coming with the engine. Nissan Silvia 240sx S13

This is a topic I started a little while back. Some useful information on it. Hope it helps.
I was able to find a little bit of information via google. I can't recall the name of the forum I read it, but I removed the dust cover(shield) from the yoke. All is good now. B)
Well, I attained a F4W60 2 days ago. Swapped out my FS5W60A and now the driveshaft is too long. What would be the reasoning behind this?
Do I have to get driveshaft from an earlier B210?
Yep, that's why I've considered the 4 speed into my search. Even if I were to drive on highway.. I don't mind people going around me. *snicker* Not saying the 4 speed can't go as fast as the 5 speed. That's not the case.. The 4 speed just has sad highway mpg due to the smaller overdrive.
Thanks, Sierra. Appreciate the help. :thumbup:
I want a 5-speed badly and I agree it would be nice to have over the 4 speed. Although, I've read the 4 speed is actually stronger.. and the 5 speed difference is it has a bigger overdrive. So, it's the 4 speed can't be all that bad. :blush:
Ugh... *pulls hair* Anyone know where to find a rebuild kit for 60A 5speed manual transmission? Seems that might be the easier way to go rather than waiting around for someone willing to part with their transmissions.
