Posted March 17, 20231 yr comment_651512 The left hand threaded main shaft nut on the FS5W71B transmissions has been NLA for a while. Smome member here had some made, but guess what? They are back in stock at Transmission Parts Distributors. Just got an email today. Bit pricey, $29 USD..... ouch.... https://www.transmissionpartsdistributors.com/fs5w71-transmission-nut-for-main-shaft-left-hand-thread-fits-datsun-nissan-81-nis-204/ Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/68205-fs5w71-transmission-nut-for-main-shaft-left-hand-thread-available/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

March 18, 20231 yr Author comment_651523 Yeah, now says $12.88. No clue where I got the $29 from. Could have sworn that the first price I saw. the older I get the more I’m amazed at my mind. Usually not in a good way. Anyway, hope this helps all of us Transmission builders.

March 18, 20231 yr comment_651548 It even says $19.95 was the old retail and slash reduced to $12.88. I bought two and still came out ahead. No sales tax either which is odd for a WA sale. (At first I had that same thought, Canadian dollars?)
