This was a very instructive video with clear directions. I intend to do this very thing to my 240z trans once I pull the engine in November. Thank you very much!
Great video. Thanks for sharing! I also need to do the O-ring on the striking rod shaft at the rear. How much play on the input or output shaft is too much? Mine moves about a 1/16 of an inch.
Ive subscribed I forget to hit the like button.Both my cars a 73 240 and a back dated 78 280Z are running carbed L28 motors with headers.I had good luck at getting five speeds for both. I plan on wrx limited slip on my" get soon " list after I build the motors. Great series, I love watching other Z builds. You know most people dont understand Air cooled carbed Porsche 911 have hit the roof " cant touch them " its only competitor in the day was the first series Z. They wont be around long most are being shipped over seas. When im done with these two. One is mine one Im building for my ex step daughter she always had one in her garage in video racing games. I will hunt down two more to restore.I just love tbis car they are roomy yet small fast enough to chase porsches and mustangs. A as modern to look at as an early 911. Great series
@@Behine.DeChilis yep, totally doable. That's how I did it, and it was pretty fine. Slightly more annoying to hammer the new one in with little space, but difficulty 3 to 4/10 (depending on how easily comes your drive shaft)
Awesome! I’m glad it helped. I was running into the same thing with all the manuals, sometimes they are so confusing and horrible pictures. Thanks for watching!
These seals aren’t real rubber which petroleum based lubricant (Vaseline) can harm. Definitely do your research to double check but there isn’t a problem using it on them.
I've seen Vaseline attack various types of plastics and rubber. I would just skip using it altogether on my cars and opt for something like white lithium, etc.
I believe the correct install is dry for the outside of the seal and lubricated for the inside w the respective oil. There are rubber seals, but im not sure if the oem is viton etc. Always check when ordering seals and go for the synthetic options. (Thanks for showing this so i know what is involved!)
Even though you didn't do the top seal, how would you replace it? I'm going to do this job on mine and would like to change the top one, just for peace of mind. Just RTV Sealant?
Why don't you replace that top plate gasket? My trans appears to have all the leaks coming from that area. Seems like a simple fix rather than wait and see and pull the trans again to replace.
I would totally agree if you have it out. Do it. In my case it was dry and for me to get it out at my home shop isn’t that hard if it begins to seep/leak.
Good video but you need to work on the audio. Your voice is too soft compared to the music, I had to constantly adjust the volume so I could hear you vs getting blasted by the music.
+d9inger appreciate the feedback. I’ve been working on my audio, better mics and bringing the music down since. Check out my later videos and let me know! Thanks for watching!

This was super helpful, currently doing this on my 78' 280z. Thanks!

Is there anywhere that I can find that shim, without buying a full rebuild kit?
You might be able to, just have to hunt for it. Check out www.datsunpartz.com it might help!
Thanks for the video! Should help me do the seals on my Roadster's 4 speed :)
+Austin Esau stoked you found it helpful!
Any idea if that rear seal can be replaced without pulling the transmission? Just by removing the drive shaft? Thanks
The rear seal to the driveshaft yoke? If so I would say yes. A little cramped but doable.
@@CarsBikesandCoffee awesome. Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the vid man, I was reading my FSM for this and this video is a whole lot better. Hahaha.

Cars, Bikes, and Coffee just had my engine rebuild and overlooked this leak. Thanks again! Keep making more vids
You just got a subscriber! Keep it up!
Thank you!
Came suggested to me it's helpful to hold that shim in place with grease so it's not moving on you.
Good video! Going to do that to my old 4 speed when I pull it.
mciranna thanks man! Let me know how it goes!
Is tha the same tranny on 210 ? 4 speed ?
I’m not 100% sure what the 210 uses. It is a four speed, yes.
6:33 I just replaced these rubbers, but later I've heard it isn't good to apply Vaseline on rubber parts.

@@CarsBikesandCoffee Okay, that's reassuring to hear!

nice video. Same method applies to my Mitsubishi transmission
+Chai YY thanks! Ah right on, good to know. Appreciate you watching.

I would get a sheet of gasket and make your own. Pretty easy. Thanks for watching!🤘🏻
do you know if a Nissan d21 uses the same seal and the same work
I can’t say 100% but they look very similar.
I want a gear box to buy

There is another o-ring on the shift rod, you would need to unbolt the rear case to get to it
Yes. I replaced mine. They are no longer available from Nissan but I found a place online that sells a generic seal of the same size. Works perfectly
@@yobringitondown5565 Any tips? I need to do the same to mine.
