Victor Laury Posted November 4, 2004 Share #2 Posted November 4, 2004 Redline MTL. Yes you have brass syncros. Your 1980 transmission (B box) differs from the A box 5 speed used in non-US market Z cars and all SRL roadsters. The A box used steel "Porsche style" servos (syncros) for all gears up to 1970. After Nissan fitted 1~2, 2~3 with brass "Warner Style" syncros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
