June 10, 200222 yr comment_8565 240 5 speeds, 260 5 speeds and I think the 280 5 speeds fit. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/1906-5-speed-tranny/#findComment-8565 Share on other sites More sharing options...
June 10, 200222 yr comment_8567 Unfortunately here in the US there were no 5 speeds available until 1977 in the 280Z. Any 5 speed from 77-83 will work, but the 77-78 had a little different overdrive than the later 79-83's. They will all work, but putting them in a 71 may require a little cutting or grinding to make the shifter fit. The shifter is a little further forward and you will need to make the hole in the tunnel a little larger, plus you may find it necessary to cut the console a little too. See the post in the tech articles for the ratios of the different transmissions. These are for the US models as far as I know, the ratios may have been different in other parts of the world. Guess if they had offered the 5 speeds in the US models sooner there wouldn't be so many ZX's sitting in scrap yards without transmissions.
