Transmission

[dirtychief123]

How hard would it be to change a 1972 240Z with an automatic transmission to a 5 speed?? What needs to be done?? And has anyone tried this before?? Thanks

This has been done thousands of times. There are differences in the 5 speeds as far as gearing the later cars are close ratio . '80--'83 I believe . You need the drive shaft and of cource the clutch and pressure plate and a new flywheel and throwout bearing and pilot bushing , Master cylinder for the cluch as well as the peddle. I suggest going to geocities.com/zgarage2001/engine.html there is a ton of info. for you there in all areas . What is the condition of your auto trans. I am running a '73 with the same one and do not want to go to a manual . I might be interested in a spair. Gary:classic:
