280ZWarrior

Thanks for all your help. I just got an 81 280ZX for parts. I'll use that 5spd tranny and try to find a 75-78 5spd drive shaft.

Hey everyone, I hope you guys can help me out here. I just got an 81 280zx to add to my collection of my 78 280. I have a problem with the clutch. I'm used to automatics and never worked on a manual car before. The problem is that the clutch pedal is stuck to the floor. I can pull it up with my hands, but when I press it down it just goes to the floor and stays there. Does the system have to be bled? Or do I need to replace the clutch, master & slave cyl.? If the system needs to be bled, can someone tell me the steps on how to bleed a clutch? I appreciate any help I can get. Thanx Mike

Hello everybody I have a 1978 280Z 2+2. It is an automatic and I want to swap in a 5spd. If any of you have a 5spd tranny that is reliable and works well, please let me know. If you also have the L28 engine, I might be interested in that also. Also, if it is at all possible if anyone has the clutch & brake pedal, clutch, flywheel,and everything else that is needed for a auto to 5spd swap, please let me know. Thanx a lot, Mike

Okay here is my problem. I'm new to this board and did a whole bunch of searches for this bout couldn't find exactly what I am looking for. I have a 1978 280Z 2+2. It is an automatic and I am thinking about swapping in a 5spd. I found a 5spd from a 280Z coupe (Not a 2+2). I was wondering if the 5spd tranny from the coupe is the same size as my automatic? And if this will swap out with no problems? If the 5spd tranny is shorter than the automatic, the drveshaft won't reach the tranny, right? Also the drive shaft from the 280Z coupe will be too short also, right? I really appreciate any advice I can get. I am new to the Z world as I am only 18yrs and have only had my Z for a year.
