[Roadsters] 5 speed transmissions

[Daryl Smith]

NONE of the L-series trannies bolt up! The easiest route to go is the 
Roadster 5 speed and associated parts, from the U20 engined cars.

An early/mid '80s Nissan diesel P/U transmission will bolt right up, But it 
will also probably require some 'massaging' of the frame at the X.  first 
gear would be pretty low tho. It is pretty much the same as the Z and other 
5 spds of the era, just a different front half on the tranny.
