280Z 5-speed in an early 240Z Console Cutting

[lonetreesteve]

I have driven car for about a year now including 10 laps around a road course at gripfest and have had no problems with the shifter. This shifter is for a 4 speed type B transmission. Not a 5 speed. Not sure if there is any difference that would make this shifter not work with a 5 speed. If 5 speed is same as type B transmission except for the extra gear, I would think it would work fine.

Thanks, Brian. That's good to know. As soon as the weather gets warmer and the snow melts from a recent storm, I'll find some place to drive my Z and get this done. I recently bought a spare shifter off of Ebay just in case something happens to the existing one when I get a shop to bend it for me.

Thanks again and I'll let you know how it works out.
