ElCimino Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share #13 Posted April 12, 2013 70 78 Datsun 240Z 260z 280z 4 Speed Transmission Shift Knob Topper in Green Nice | eBayI measured mine 1 1/16. So if the green is that size I'm going to buy. Wish someone made reproductions. $25 seems like a lot. It's the first one I've found in a month of watching.

mgood Posted April 12, 2013 Share #14 Posted April 12, 2013 The one you are looking at is the one I purchased form Baddoor250 (RUSSELL HIMLEY) the seller on 3/22/2013.Description from my Paypal account " 70-78 DATSUN 240Z 260Z 280Z 4 SPEED TRANSMISSION SHIFT KNOB TOPPER IN GREEN NICEItem # 321088966778"It seem odd that he would have two used ones that he found under the seat. If you can get it it should fit, mine is like new. Good luck.

Captain Obvious Posted April 12, 2013 Share #15 Posted April 12, 2013 The later metal cloisonné style maps are slightly smaller in diameter than the earlier plastic ones. Maybe an eighth of an inch or so?If you try to use the cloisonné style on your wood knob, there will be a small ring gap around the outside edge. If you try to use a black-n-white plastic style in your black plastic faux leather knob, it might not fit into the hole. You might be able to force it in, but I've not tried.

mgood Posted April 12, 2013 Share #16 Posted April 12, 2013 According to what El said his is 1 1/16 inches.The green is 1 1/16 inches like the one I purchased and is 1 1/16 inches.Bonzi measured his 73 4 speed at 27mm or 1.095And 1 1/16 = 1.0625 = 26.987mm < 27mm so it should fit.

Captain Obvious Posted April 12, 2013 Share #17 Posted April 12, 2013 I just measured my red 5-speed pattern to be 1.050 OD. I don't have one of the earlier plastic patterns here to measure, but I did measure the recessed hole in a wood knob to be 1.080.I don't know anything about the ones offered from ebay.So, it's be as much of a difference as I mentioned above, but it might be enough that you'll have to fill the gap to keep it from looking funny.

ElCimino Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share #18 Posted April 12, 2013 So the general consensus is it will fit. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/46237-240z-shift-map/?page=2#findComment-420366 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElCimino Posted April 13, 2013 Author Share #23 Posted April 13, 2013 Quick question. I replaced the gasket for my water pump due to a leak at the top of the seal. With a new gasket my old leak is gone but I now have a leak at the bottom. When I replaced the gasket there was some silicone gasket that I removed. Is it possible the water pump housing is warped? If I need to start a new thread in the help section I will.

mgood Posted April 14, 2013 Share #24 Posted April 14, 2013 ElCimino, make sure you take a picture of the shift map. Like I said before the one that is listed on eBay in # 13 was the exact same add and item I purchased from the same guy. It is interesting that the guy would have found two under a seat. Just saying.
