Datun 5 speed--where does the Speedo cable attach?

Share this page

I was wondering about the position of the shift lever myself. Good to hear that's where it's "supposed" to be.
 
Bruce, what slave/master combination are you using in your car?
 
If you do the Datsun 5-speed conversion, a good way to re-center the shifter and use the Sprite knob is to cut down the Datsun shifter leaving a 1" nub. Then measure to taste and cut off the Sprite shifter. Weld the Sprite shifter to the RIGHT side of the datsun stub and you'll have everything back in line. Paul did this for me and it works great.

I did the same thing Glen.
 
Trevor, I'm using the slave that Rivergate provides and a new clutch master. I'm converting my car to dual brake lines, and a clutch master.
 
OK, I'm using the 3/4" brake/clutch combo unit and I'm not sure what to use for a slave. I have a nissan 3/4" slave cylinder that I'm going to try make work. It was only $12 at my local NAPA so I thought it would be worth a shot.

When the tranny was in my Midget I had the stock clutch MC and 1275 slave, and it was an easy pedal, but you had to but it all the way on the floor.
