There is always the toyota 5 spd conversion... more butchery involved.. but
better ratios.. Dellow in Sydney Australia makes the "kit"...I use that word
loosely coz it's really just a bellhousing.
Not as straightforward a job as the datsun... but if you can be bothered,
it's a nice drive and you only ever need to use the clutch for standing starts!
still plenty of toyota 5 speeds too...even though they go into just about
anything over here... V8 guys go for the steel Supra box, 6 & 4 bangers go for
the Celica & T-18 Corolla alloy boxes.
the toyota overdrive is .86:1 compared to the datsuns .82:1, but the ratios
from 1 - 3 are better sports car ratios than the datsuns.

Makes me feel like my 200.00 find last winter was worth while! I'd been
searching for a while though locally. Seems most had been crushed according
to the yards as anything more than 10 years old was wasting space.
