Hi John,

My two cents about Datsun trannies.  If possible, try and have the
tranny inspected before installation.  These are very hardy and it will
probably need nothing.  I had my first inspected and it was perfect,
though we went ahead and replaced a few bearings.  I did not have
time to have my second one inspected and this was a mistake.
Like the few others that have problems, the second gear synchro is
worn.  This problem is evident when down shifting from third to
second from higher speeds.

Good luck,
Paul
