Re: datsun 1200 sedan [Rocket rice]
A word of warning,
You may find that the 60A four speed wont bolt up to the floor the same as your 56. If you run a tape measure over both your gearboxes, you may find that the mounting flange is further towards the rear of the gearbox on the 60. 60 four speeds are qute uncommon here in NZ, (I've never actually seen one myself) but all the 60 five speeds have needed the mount altering/a custom one made to fit in a 1200.

Thanks Mate.
I have noticed that because the mount that I got with the gearbox had some mods did to it.Since that mount is not good i will have to alter the new mount that i have,
