r/Datsun

I have 1981 280zx. Recently, it has been refusing to shift into reverse. All other gears are fine. Sometimes it will let me pull up a tiny bit in 1st and then shift into reverse, but not every time.

Any idea what could be causing it?

Hey yall,

Im working on my datsun 280zx rb20 swap project and im hoping i can keep my stock fs5w71b manual close ratio transmission.

My question is, some people online say its more than possible to adapt the rb20 to the stock datsun 5 speed. How is it done? Would it be worth doing or should i instead look for a fs5w71c ka or rb transmission instead?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, id love to keep this transmission but id also be willing to sell it as it is a low milage ready to drop in trans.

Hey guys I have a 1973 240z w old seatbelts and safety is just an illusion at this point. I do want a harness and a seat compatible for it in the future but right now I need something affordable that works and bolts right up.

What are y’all using ?
