I'm looking for a 5spd gearbox for my 1988 C20 Van. Does anyone know of one around? It is column change and currently has a 4spd column change in it. Does anyone know if these swap straight over with me being able to reuse my current 4spd column linkages etc? Don't want to change x members etc and want it to look standard and be easiest swap poss so I don't have any issues for WOF.
Please post a reply if you can help in any way.
Cheers
Kevin

Ok my gearbox is a 4 speed and it has a small nissan logo with 60 next to it cast on the main bell housing and next to the reverse light switch is another nissan logo with a number 9 next to it.
I guess a 5 speed will have different numbers on it. Does anyone know what numbers to look for on a 5 speed?
Cheers
