Ok....taking advantage of a convenient (not) rear crank oil seal leak, I am planning to refurb my gearbox shortly ( usual 2nd gear synchro woes) so I have been researching what bits I need. So much so, that I'm going round in circles and confusing myself no end!
So first question... Is the late UK market 5 speed 240z gearbox ( bent stick, splined propshaft) F5C71B or FS5C71B? What's the difference between these two boxes?
Secondly does anybody have a link to an exploded parts diagram with part numbers etc? I do have a copy for the F5C71B, but not the FS5C71B. I presume a lot of the parts are the same, but we all know what presumption is the mother of, don't we?
And finally....although I have sourced a couple of synchro rings, I have been told that the main culprit for poor shifts is usually the brake band in the synchro mechanism. Does the panel agree or disagree on that?
Many thanks, Sam
