Question:
What kind and year 5speed transmission works with a1275ccengine? Thanks
Answer:
Hi ,  The two most common are this Ford based 5-speed, and the Datsun F units which were originally fitted to the Datsun B210's from 1979-81. The Ford unit comes complete and ready to bolt up. You'd have to locate a good used Datsun 5-speed of the correct type and get an adapter kit made by Rivergate to mount it to your 1275.

The Datsun units are nice since they require no modification of the body to install - the downside being that those transmissions are getting harder and harder to find at a reasonable price.
