Dave WM Posted March 3, 2017 Share #1 Posted March 3, 2017 Prob been covered before, I searched found some old data. I keep putting off doing my trans swap (rear main, clutch, trans swap 5 for a 4 speed) due to fear of the unknown. anyway looking for good shop that knows how to work on old Z's (1975 280z). Found a website for Z tech in longwood FL. any others, looking for feed back on Z tech or other shops for this kind of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSM Posted March 3, 2017 Share #2 Posted March 3, 2017 Dave, post a link. The Z tech I remembered is long gone and was in College Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave WM Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share #7 Posted March 4, 2017 will do, plan to go some time next week. I attempted to get started on the trans swap, car on jacks, penetrating oil on exhaust studs (remove exhaust pipe for access) impact gun, promptly snap off nut.... enough of that I will take it in and see what its going to cost. I prob should have heated with oxy/ace torch, all I had was a propane, not hot enough i guess. Anyway enough of that. I will check them out and let you know. I would have thought there would be more folks here that have used them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave WM Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share #8 Posted March 5, 2017 Plan B go to a local muffler shop to see what they would charge to loosen up those done pipe nuts, and get the snapped on out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
