I'm in the process of inspecting/rebuilding my transmission, but I must 
admit to be fairly ignorant of the whole thing.  Since I want to do this 
right, I'm thinking I need to get educated on manual transmissions in 
general.  I have the original U20/5-speed transmisson manual from Datsun 
(in full poor translation glory) and I have the service/repair manual from 
Rising Sun Racing archives, but they are both geared to experienced 
mechanics.  Can anyone recommend some books or perhaps videos that would 
help me get a good basic understanding of manual transmissions and their 
associated terminology?  I know I won't find much more on this particular 
transmission, but I would think that if I could find something on the Z 
transmissions, it would be close and the terminology should not differ all 
that much. I've seen videos on rebuilding American transmissions and that 
might be a last resort.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

OT:  Congrats Canada.  I actually found myself rooting (in general) for 
Canada after they got robbed of the gold in the figure skating.  I'm quite 
pleased it came down to US and Canada and am very happy for Canada.  I had 
no idea it was such a big deal for them to win gold in hockey.  I just 
figured they were dominant all along since that is all they do for 9 months 
out of the year (I hear things thaw out a little in the summer).
