320 transmission help ?!

[320NUT]

Hey there!!

   I have a '63 L320 with a '66 J-13 motor and a transmission I need help identifying. I'm looking for info on my 4-speed with floor shift it has the code  2LT5  346  on outside of the bell housing and the code 12_14_1  on the side of it; It also has an isignia of a circle within a circle disected with straight lines thru it. Any help on this as well as any info on this transmission would be much appreciated.  P.S. - I opened the case on the transmission and there are 2 gears (one upper and one of the two lower) are screwed up.                               

                                              Thanks -- Matt

Matt the item you are refering to is  th Hitachi Logo. In the early 60's Hitachi was Nissan's main component vendor. The 320 pickup and the bluebird would almost quailfy as an Hitachi product, wearing that logo on the bonnet instead of Datsun.

As far as the part number for the floor shift 4 speed, seeing that you have a 63, which did not come with a floor shift and you have a J-13, I'm guessing that the transmission came with the engine from a 520. I have that part number at home, and I'll post it later today.

Wish I had a scanner, I've got the parts book with diagrams.

If you need parts, I suggest Les Cannaday at Classic Datsun Motorsports. He's got a bunch of them in his transmission stack.

Hey Victor !

  thanks for the info on my transmission. I suspected it was an hitachi but wasn't sure.

Anyway, I was wondering if you could possibly bring your parts book for : #32010-14957 Hitachi "Top Loader" floor shift transmission to a copy house (kinkos or Staples etc.) and have them scan it and save to a disk/CD. I'm not sure how big this book is, therefore, How much $ it'll take. However, I would possibly pay the cost if you could do it.      ?????????
