Well i guess i got what i paid for. I traded my half running Sentra and $109.75 for a 1978 Datsun PL620 truck. The truck runs great and has a little rust. (TN truck) I knew it needed something with the clutch and im replaceing the Master/slave cylinders and lines today. Now i just hvae to get a whole trany for it. The 4sp in it only has 1st/2nd/R. Top speed right now is 30mph. I hvae two choices on this, either buy the 5sp out of a junked truck i know of or try my best to get my dad to bring me the 5sp he has sitting in his shed. Either wya i get the fun of taking out the transmission and swapping it.
