Amayama was another Japanese company, again, No dice. Nissan parts deal indicates its discontinued. I took that as NLA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patcon Posted December 4, 2019 Share #39 Posted December 4, 2019 How do the shofter forks go bad? There's not one in that Canadian parts hoard y'all got? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Head Posted December 5, 2019 Share #40 Posted December 5, 2019 Look at post #9. They can wear out. Too much hard shofting maybe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the case of the shifter fork pictured, why can't the lost material be added back? Are they hardened? Some other reason? Just thinking out loud...

Zed Head Posted December 5, 2019 Share #42 Posted December 5, 2019 It probably could, on the steel forks. It would take some precise machining I think to grind the new surfaces flat and parallel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you made the tiltle you have some weeks to change it.. or month's, don't know.. maybe @Mike can tell..? On topic, why not weld the old fork? Steel or aluminum (aluminium also ? ) i weld both… This week i learnt how to weld with copper/silicium with a MIG... yeah! still learning new tricks!! (it is a colder weld! within days i will show some welds in my thread: restoring a 280zx slick roof.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_tool_man Posted December 5, 2019 Share #45 Posted December 5, 2019 As I will upgrade my Z to a 5-speed one day, and likely won't be able to afford a rebuilt unit, I'm glad this thread exists. I've rebuilt a toploader before. So far, this doesn't look significantly more difficult, provided one can find parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the fork isn't broken from hard shifting, "abby normal", premature wear usually comes from resting one's hand on the shifter while driving.
