Posted April 30, 200420 yr comment_79102 I am going to put a 1980 280zx 5 speed transmission into my 1973 240z manual. I am a bit confused from the posts I have read as to which fork to use and which sleeve and throw out bearing to use. Please shed some definitive light on this for me. Thanks, Victor.

April 30, 200420 yr comment_79104 The forks should be the same if your 240 is a 73, earlier series I use the series I fork to match the clutch slave cylinder. The bearing carrier: if using a 240 clutch and pressure plate use the 240 carrier, if using a 280 clutch and pressure plate use the 280 carrier. The clutch and pressure plate are the determining factor, not which transmission.

April 30, 200420 yr Author comment_79109 Thanks, Lance. The one thing I'm not sure of is whether I have an A or B tranny. The previous owner replaced the 73 engine with a 71 and I'm not sure what tranny he put back in. I just assumed he would use the 73 tranny, but I'd better check.

April 30, 200420 yr comment_79114 The A tranny has the nut on the bottom holding the shifter and the B tranny has the nylon bushings with the pin and e clip holding the shifter. That's how I tell them apart. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/11509-transmission-swap-clutch-fork/#findComment-79114 Share on other sites More sharing options...
