{"product_id":"5-speed-manual-transmission-2","title":"5-Speed Manual Transmission","description":"The Nissan FS5W71B is a 5-speed manual transmission that served as an upgrade for earlier 4-speed transmissions like the F4W71B. This transmission is known for its compatibility with the FS5W71C, as they share a similar mid-plane bearing plate shape and bolt pattern, enabling the use of the 240SX's KA engine transmission with the L engine in older Z cars. The front bell housings of the F4W71B and FS5W71B are nearly identical, facilitating their integration.\n\nThis transmission was a popular choice for enthusiasts seeking an additional gear for improved highway cruising. It was found in various Datsun and Nissan models, including the 1977-1978 280Z, 1979-1983 280ZX, 1977-1984 Datsun\/Nissan 200SX, Maxima, and Pickup. While a direct bolt-in for some applications, users have reported occasional issues such as grinding gears under aggressive shifting or unfavorable gear ratios in certain configurations, particularly when paired with specific differentials. Rebuild kits, including synchronizer rings, are available for this transmission.","brand":"Nissan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52663135797560,"sku":"FS5W71B","price":1540.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/687517481.jpg?v=1784324166","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/5-speed-manual-transmission-2","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
