Ah, I took a look at the chart I was looking at and the seal is for the end plug or something?

Zed Head Posted February 13, 2020 Share #15 Posted February 13, 2020 Actually that's a good find. Maybe that's the one that leaks, not #22. It would be #19 in the parts manual. There's an o-ring, and an oil seal. It looks like the end of the striker rod should come off, exposing that oil seal. Maybe you can disassemble it without removing the rod. http://www.carpartsmanual.com/datsun/Z-1969-1978/power-train/transmission-control/5-speed Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/63560-1978-5-speed-transmission-tail-housing-removal/?page=2#findComment-592525 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have any experience getting that out to change the seal?

Zed Head Posted February 13, 2020 Share #17 Posted February 13, 2020 There's a part with no number that looks like a screw. Maybe?

Also is it possible to even get that rod out without having to remove/destroy that pressed-in plug at the end (#21)?

chaseincats Posted February 13, 2020 Author Share #20 Posted February 13, 2020 Just now, Zed Head said: You're there... Right now I'm actually the middle-man. The guy whose working on it is about a half hour away and we're spitballing on how to get these seals put in. I'm going to see the part tomorrow Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/63560-1978-5-speed-transmission-tail-housing-removal/?page=2#findComment-592533 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Head Posted February 13, 2020 Share #21 Posted February 13, 2020 Looks like it might be a rivet. I'll bet you could grind the head off of it and the end would come off. Nissan never planned for this much disassembly, I'll bet, Might be some good stuff in the thread I found when I was looking for the picture. https://forums.nicoclub.com/transmission-stuck-in-first-gear-but-shifter-is-in-neutral-t602912.html 1 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/63560-1978-5-speed-transmission-tail-housing-removal/?page=2#findComment-592536 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Head Posted February 13, 2020 Share #22 Posted February 13, 2020 @zKars has the parts to be sacrificed, if he was interested. I think.

chaseincats Posted February 13, 2020 Author Share #23 Posted February 13, 2020 Update: Got it out with Dave's help. For those who want to know you put the housing in a vice and tap on the rod end gently and it will push the plug out undamaged and can be re-seated afterwords. 1 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/63560-1978-5-speed-transmission-tail-housing-removal/?page=2#findComment-592571 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Head Posted February 14, 2020 Share #24 Posted February 14, 2020 Are you going to take the shaft apart to get to oil seal #19? I got rid of my pile of 5 speed parts or I'd have done it already. Nobody has really dug in to that possibility as another source of the oil in the shifter cavity.
