| Post subject: | '76 260c manual conversion questions |
G'day all, I've been thinking about swapping the 3 speed auto (ewww) in my 1976 330 series 260c sedan for a (hopefully 5 speed) manual, but I have no idea what bits I need. I'm hoping that any 5 speed from an L motor will fit and I can use my current driveshaft and crossmember without modification... wishful thinking? Crossmember isn't too much of an issue because I can fab something up, and similarly the pedal assembly I think will have to be 260c specific or custom made, but I'm hoping I don't have to touch the driveshaft. Does anyone know about these 330 260c's? Cheers, Andrew |

When I did one on my 200B I needed the following parts: - manual clutch and brake pedal - clutch master cylinder, slave cylinder and hydraulic line - manual flywheel and clutch - manual gearbox with clutch fork, bearing and gear lever - manual tailshaft The tailshafts were different lengths between auto and manual so I had to use the manual one. The gearbox crossmember also bolted up in a slightly different spot so I had to modify my gearbox crossmember so that it would fit. I helped do a manual conversion on an R30 Skyline years later, and this was exactly the same regarding the tailshaft and gearbox crossmember. Based on this I believe that it would be the same for a 260C unfortunately! In saying that if you have basic fabrication skills and a welder it's nothing that you couldn't get sorted in a couple of hours. |

So i recently converted (With plenty of assistance from Friends) my 200B from Auto to Manual. And i know this to be the same for 240K's If you get the correct sized Gearbox - Stumpy or Long you can use the original tail shaft. Minor modification to the Auto Crossmember in the 200B got the Box in. Buy this Kit - for the Master, Slave & Line (it works for 200B/1600 & 240k) http://www.datsport.com/hydraulic-clutc ... e-kit.html Datsport should be able to advise if it will fit your car. This Wiki for a 1200 is super helpful http://datsun1200.com/modules/mediawiki ... conversion Nissan still stock the Pilot Bearing for the L Series (Actually they still stock heaps of bits |

Not sure what auto the 260c's use but if it's a 3N71B as in the 240k's be aware that these are in demand from mazda drag racers. I know it sounds funny but I recently sold one in Brisbane for Melbourne. |

Same as the 3sp Auto Bluebird gearbox's.FYI when they are rebuilt with Paul Kees internals and a C4 input shaft, they become incredibly light and compact, yet damn near bullet proof - especially for the rotary guys. |
