another zx tranny question

[livenbad]

Hello zheads....I am replacing a racing tranny I have had in my 240z for 30 years with a 1980 non turbo 5 speed. Purchased a zx clutch slave to match the tranny...also collar, etc... My question is the xz slave cylinder doesn't have adjustment. How do I adjust the pedal play??? Thanks much

Swap the adjustable pin from your original slave onto the new one, reuse the adjustable fork in the new transmission.

Or use the non-adjustable fork in the new transmission with the non adjustable pin on the new slave. Either way works, I prefer to have the adjustability.

Whats the story on the racing tranny? Is it an old Datsun Comp? Probably worth some coin...

thanks for the reply....the old tranny was one of the first from datsun comp in 1974. close ratio. I traded it for the rebuilt zx tranny. It probably was worth more but was not in very good shape and parts are impossible to find. I did the swap due to extreme noise (whine) in overdrive. It lasted a long time....did hundreds of speed shifts!!!
