I'm very excited about this, BillM rebuilt my 5 speed and we're going to install it this Saturday at the 1st 2011 meeting of the N-O-S-H-I-T group.
As some may recall I've got the A15 Nissan (Datsun 210 Deluxe) motor so it's not a problem putting a Datsun transmission behind it.
We have had this particular transmission in my car (the 78 Midget) before, so fit isn't an issue.
It's a "simple" matter of pulling the motor, taking the old trans off and putting the new one on then reinstalling in the car. There are a few tricky bits that BillM and I found but all in all it's a whole lot easier than adapting the tranny to a British engine.
My dear better half said she doesn't like doing the math in her head while driving so I ordered a 90 degree +25% ratio speedo gear from

They promised to get it to me by Friday.
Hopefully I'll bring enough spare bits & pieces along with a new clutch (why not replace it while everything's out?).
This will be a lot of fun, and we'll definitely have to post some pictures after.
