Duffman Posted December 17, 2008 Share #1 Posted December 17, 2008 I am having leaking issues from the rear seal of my trannny and need to drop it to replace the rear (and probably the front) seal. Would rather put it in the hands of someone more capable than myself to handle the work. Any recommendations on a good, local repair shop? Gary at Spanky's, who did a lot of engine work for me in the past, has moved to TX. Suggestions?!Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenZZZ Posted December 18, 2008 Share #2 Posted December 18, 2008 Might want to ask the guys at Arizona Z Car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffman Posted December 18, 2008 Author Share #3 Posted December 18, 2008 I checked with Z Car Source of AZ and they had no suggestions for service, as they only supply parts and handle car renovations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike B Posted December 18, 2008 Share #4 Posted December 18, 2008 You might check with the local Z car club to see who they recommend.-Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffman Posted December 18, 2008 Author Share #5 Posted December 18, 2008 I checked with Dave at Arizona Z Car, he didn't have any ideas either.Good point, Mike, I know Gary and Danny at Spanky's did a lot of work for members of the Arizona Z Car Club, will see if members have any ideas going forward.

Duffman Posted December 18, 2008 Author Share #6 Posted December 18, 2008 Not Arizona Z Car Club, but the Desert Z Association is the local club, sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarmac Posted December 19, 2008 Share #8 Posted December 19, 2008 I don't know about Phoenix, I can tell you that the guys at Primarily Japanese in Tucson are great with Z cars. They pulled the old automatic out of my '70 Z, and replaced it with a 5-speed for (what I consider) a very good price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffman Posted December 19, 2008 Author Share #9 Posted December 19, 2008 Thanks, Tarmac, my daughter is going to the U of A, good to know there is a good Z repair place in Tucson! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Palmer Posted December 19, 2008 Share #10 Posted December 19, 2008 Here's where we get too specific about things being Datsun and needing to be worked on by someone Datsun profiicient. Any decent transmission shop can seal up a tranny, be it Datsun or whatever........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffman Posted December 19, 2008 Author Share #11 Posted December 19, 2008 Good point, Bruce, but this simple repair led me to thinking about how to handle the more difficult, Z-specific, challenges that will come down the road. Was just looking for input on any Phx area repair shop options for the future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Palmer Posted December 19, 2008 Share #12 Posted December 19, 2008 Just curious about the kind of Z specfic things you're thinking about. The early Z and most any of the other early Datsuns were about a sophisticated as your average garden tractor and most any "general repair" mechanic (if you can find one) should be able to tackle most anything on them. I'd say that may be your next goal, to go looking for a "mechanic" rather than your run of the mill parts replacer which seems to be what we have around today.....
