I use that same 280Z 5 speed for 20 years now. Plenty good. No need for a ZX gearbox at all really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siteunseen Posted September 20, 2018 Share #246 Posted September 20, 2018 Me too and love it. 75MPH turns about 2,200RPM on the interstate with the R180 diff. Did you guys run into any problems with the OE 240 shift rod? Mine hit the tunnel cut out and wouldn't stay in 5th or reverse. I ground some off the nose end and all is good now. I'm thinking I've already told this but my mind seems to be getting fuzzier and fuzzier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zedyone_kenobi Posted September 20, 2018 Share #247 Posted September 20, 2018 It seems to go into gear fine but it hits the 71 console and pushing it forward in 5th noticeable. It stays in gear with the engine not running so we will see. I may need to do more console trimming. I really want to keep using my 71 console as its original. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a problem with late gearbox. May have to modify a shifter. I think many have done it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zedyone_kenobi Posted September 20, 2018 Share #249 Posted September 20, 2018 Agree, I have two extra B type shifters. so maybe a mod will work ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siteunseen Posted September 20, 2018 Share #250 Posted September 20, 2018 Mine would pop out of reverse as soon as the clutch released but if I kept pressure on it all was good backing out of the driveway. I could shift to 5th at about 4,000rpm and when it got down to less than 3 or 2,500 it would pop out. Drove my nuts until I pulled the shift rod and saw the strike marks front and back. Ground some material off once or twice then it was good to go. Hopefully you'll be fine, no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
