B210 5 speed is different than 210 5 speed.  B210 will fit in Spridgets,
but requires some tunnel mods.  Also has the "rally" shift pattern as does
the 79 210 5 speed.  1st and reverse in same line.  The 4 speeds were
identical in these two cars with the 1400 and 1500 engines.  !200 and 1300
engines had a smaller shift like glass, even ratios, smaller trans.

  Not true Larry.  B210 was front engine, rear drive.  I worked on lots
of them.  Peg drove a B110 (1200) for years.  There was a contemporary
Datsun sedan that was FWD but I can't bring it to mind.  The 210 came
along later.  Wouldn't surprise me if it had the same 5-spd you could
get in the B210.

  Cheers,

  CR
