I have a servo tranny. Although some people do say there were Borg
Warners made, I have yet to see one and the 240Z book I have, which
includes instructions on rebuilding the 5 speed, only mentions the servo
type.

As some of you may know European 240s came with 5 speeds and all had
servos. I have the factory service manual for a European 240Z and it
does not mention anything about Borg Warner.

Mike:

What type of 5 speed do you have?  AFAIK, there's two types, a
servo-action, similar to the SPL's 4 speed, and a BW-type, similar in
construction and feel to the Z/ZX five speeds?

I've got a BW rebuild coming up this spring, so your info might just
save the day!

TIA
Kyle
