5spd r and r

Featured Replies

Does anybody know how much a 5spd weighs? Couldn't find it doing a search and I can only guess from the last time it was out of the car. Maybe 100 or 120 lbs. Its for my 300zx but that can't be very different in weight from the 5spd in my 260. Thanks in advance. Chuck

An L6 5-speed is somewhere around 70lbs give or take 10lbs from what I recall when I last moved the one in my garage.

Did the 260 come with a 5spd????
I could be wrong but I think the 5spds started with the 280z ?? :ermm:

I'll add they are often found in 240/260s though as and upgrade.

Thanks for the info about the weight. Last summer I swapped the auto for a 5spd out of a low mile 78. Last night I found a 5spd replacement for my 300zx on ebay for 49.99 so I was trying to figure what my shipping costs might be.

Could Call! I have a 5spd in the shed that was removed from a '78. Well, I just weighed it at .........73 lbs. !!! I weighed it 3 times and even though it was a bit of a balancing act on the bathroom scale I got 73 each time.

Thanks, I never would have guessed that it would be that light. The seller was estimating 120lbs so if I have this thing shipped at 75lb it saves me a bunch.
