NEED A 1983 280zx-t 5-speed Trany
I blew my crappy automatic in my 1982 280zx-t, and would like to use this time to upgrade to the 5 speed out of the 1983 280zx-t. if any one has one let me know. e-mail ericshere03@msn.com
Thanks,
Eric Wolf

Im pretty sure Ford used a t5 in the 5.0 mustanges. I dont know if the bolt pattern is the same but I think it is

Ford T-5s will not work with our cars, even if the bolt pattern was the same.

An 80 couple tranny is a non-turbo, right?
anyway, Eric if you find a T5 let me know. I've got the T5 driveshaft for a 2-seater 280ZX. (if the tranny you get doesn't come with one) Send me an email or PM.
The last part you'll need is the differential flange from the front of a turbo diff. You can get one of those from any 1982-83 280ZX turbo (2 seat or 2+2) that had a T5.
The automatic tranny driveshaft will not fit the T5 and neither will the Nissan driveshaft from a non-turbo transmission. I just did this swap in my non-turbo Z, but mine is a 2+2 so I had to find a 2+2 turbo driveshaft. (longer)
