71c compatiable vehicles?
Living up in Chicago, it's very hard to find a Z in the junkyards or find people parting them out on CL. I was wonder what other vehicles have the 71C besides the 240SX, 180SX, Silvia. Also, is the 240 any year has it or certain ones? I do have 2 71c trannys in my garage so if the bolt patterns are different, I've got the Bellhouse. I've got to buy a transmission on July 1st or around then (I get my monthly car money) and don't feel like driving to Green Bay or South Bend area. Thanks guysSome people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead. -

the only direct bolt in will come from an even harder to find nissan, 200sx v6.
you can get any 71c from a 240sx but you will have to change the transmission case and possibly the input/output shafts.Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a mans character make him a moderator. -

That sounds like more work than just driving a few extra hours. I'm trying to find the specs right now on a 90' 240sx but am having no luck so far. Whelp I'm gonna get back to searching.Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead. -

Regardless of how far I have to drive (reasonably), I'll have a transmission by next weekend. I'm calling all the junkyards within 300 miles of me right now. Sadly, that's not very many junkyards.Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead. -

I'm kinda in a catch 22 right now also. I'm borrowing my late grandmothers car from my dad as a DD till my Z is back on the road, so I have to have it running to move seeing how my wife can't pay her car note and got her Xterra repoed. Good riddance on that though. Fucked our credit, but I get to spend the old car note on my Z.Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead. -

Once I move back to Austin, TX this fall/winter, I'll be back in junkyard heaven. I can't wait. No more salty roads.

you can get any 71c from a 240sx but you will have to change the transmission case and possibly the input/output shafts.
I have tried it, measured them, there's probably a thread with pics, they're not the same, even though the part numbers are identical.

Re:
I was looking around and read something about the Hardbody transmission being a bit shorter than 240SX/300ZX 71C transmissions. I'm also looking for a transmission but there are no cheap Z31 transmissions around at the moment. Looks like the 240SX one is the only one that will work with minimal effort.Tinker Toy Equipped

I have a good 71C in a 86 parts car in my backyard right now. Too bad I'm so far away.
