FS5W71C help please!

[Robotsan]

Hi all,

I've potentially agreed to buy a 5 speed box from a 1988 200sx s13 turbo (CA18DET), which I believe should make it a FS5W71C..
but, it has a stamp on the bellhousing which says "CA71B #2".

The "71B" is what's concerning me. I've tried googling this but there's so much conflicting information. Any experts here able to advise?



Here's some other photos of the box:

Just realised that's obviously on the bellhousing so it doesn't matter, as that will be removed anyway.

Found a relevant thread about it.. I noticed that there's a little outline of an animal after that "CA71B #2" marking .. and I believe that's a Kangaroo! So this box was manufactured in Australia. Interesting!

According to that article that should work fine in a 280z once the bellhousing has been modified.

As you’ve worked out for yourself, it’s fine, don’t worry about it!
