Hello lovely people,

i search for an older thread as someone had already done some experiments with the FS5C71B europe transmisison.

I drive an 73 240z from Europoe and my transmission 5th gear pops out. ( its not just only the main shaft nut whicht needs to be tighten)

If i tighten the mainshaft nut - It seems to be that the last washer on the mainshaft is to tight so the gears get blocked.

And someone was able to create a small brass spacer and placed it between the last washer and the main shaft gear bushing.

If someone finds this post and or knows the person who has done that - that would be nice.

He also postet a lot of images of this rebuild - if that helps.

I would love to understand if the fix is still valid and if he faces some other issues.

Best Roman

@EuroDat is the guy I'm pretty sure you're thinking of. He does some amazing things and always has great pictures to share his work.
