IntroductIon

OUf
intention
in

writing
this
Manual
is
to

provide
the

reader
with

all
the
data
and
in

formation

required
to
maintain
and

repair
the
vehicle
However
it
must
be
realised
that

special
equipment
and
skills
arc

required
in
some
caseS
to

carry
out
the

work
detailed

in
the
text
and
we

do
not

recommend
that
such
work
be

attempted
unless
the
reader

possesses
the

necessary
skill

and

equipment
It
would
be
better
to

have
an

AUTHQRISED

DEALER
to

carry
out
the

work

using
the

special
tools
and

equipment
available
to

his
trained
staff
He
will
also
be
in

possession
of
the

genuine
spare
parts
which
may
be

needed
for

replacement

The
information
in
the
Manual
has
been
checked

against
that
provided
by
the
vehicle

manufacturer
and
any

peculiarities
have
been
mentioned
if

they
depart
rom
usual

work

shop
practice

A
fault

finding
and
trouble

shooting
chart
has
been
inserted
at

the
end
of
the
Manual
to

enable
the
reader
to

pin
point
faults
and
so
save

time
As
it
is

impossible
to
include

every

malfunction

only
the
more
usual
ones
have
been
included

A

composite
conversion
table
has
also
been
included
at

the
end
of
the
manual
and
we

would
recommend
that
wherever

possible
for

greater
accuracy
the
metric
system
units

are
used

Brevity
and

simplicity
have
been
our
aim
in

compiling
this
Manual

relying
on

the
number

ous
illustrations
and
clear
text

to
inform
and
instruct
the
reader
At
the

request
of
the

many
users
of
our
Manuals
we
have
slanted
the
book
towards

repair
and
overhaul
rather

than
maintenance

Although
every
care
has
been

taken
to
ensure

that
the
information
and
data
are

correct

WE
CANNOT
ACCEPT

DESCRIPTION

Three

types
of
transmission
are
available
for
the
Datsun

models
covered

by
this
manual
Either
a
three

speed
gearbox

a
four

speed
gearbox
or
three

speed
automatic
transmission

can
be
fitted

The

three
and
four

speed
gearboxes
are

equipped
with

nchromesh
on
all
forward

gears
with
the
three

speed
gearbox

operated
by
a

steering
column

gearchange
system
and
the
four

speed
gearbox
by
a
floor
mounted

gear
lever

Two

types
of

synchromesh
are
used
in
the
four

speed

gearboxes
Either

Borg
Warner
or
Servo

types
may
be
fitted

The

gearboxes
differ

only
in
the

synchromesh
devices

whereby

the
baulk

rings
synchronize
the

coupling
sleeve
with
the
main

shaft

gear
on

the
Warner

gearbox
This
action
is

accomplished

by
a

synchrcrring
on
the
servo

gearbox
