<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"></head><body><div>The Datsun 5 speed transmission that is in my Bugeye was rebuilt by Paul A. back when he was selling his adapter kit (also in my car). There was a problem with the aftermarket synchros that Paul used. The trans grinds going into 3rd. All other gears also if you try to shift too fast. I have to let the RPMs drop to idle to shift without grinding. When I told Paul about this, he sent me the best set of used synchros he had. I have yet to pull the trans to put them in. What I would like is a quality set of new synchros to install. Any of you guys that have rebuilt one of these Datsun transmissions know of a good set of synchros for sale out there?</div><div>Mike MacLean</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div id="composer_signature"><div style="font-size:85%;color:#575757" dir="auto">Sent from my Samsung Galaxy , an AT&T LTE smartphone</div></div><div><br></div><div style="font-size:100%;color:#000000"><!-- originalMessage --><div>-------- Original message --------</div><div>From: Brad Fornal via Spridgets <spridgets@autox.team.net> </div><div>Date: 5/27/19 3:22 AM (GMT-08:00) </div><div>To: Ron Soave <soavero@yahoo.com> </div><div>Cc: Spridgets <spridgets@autox.team.net> </div><div>Subject: Re: [Spridgets] Datsun 5 speed </div><div><br></div></div><div dir="ltr">I actually saw a Datsun 210 parked on the street here in Mexico the other day.

My machinist bought one recently and was happy. I can get infobof needed. Our “modern” gearbox is now 40 years old. Unbelievable. <br>
