Adjusting

The
correct

adjustment
of
the
clutch
withdrawal
lever
is

most
essential
as
insufficient

clearance
between
the
clutch

release

bearing
and
the

diaphragm
will
cause
the
clutch
to

slip

On
the
other
hand
an
excessive
clearance
will

prevent
the

from

disengaging
correctly

The
clearance
between

the
release

and

or

levers
can
be

adjusted
in
the

following
manner

Slacken

must
be
bled
after
it
has
been
dismantled

or
if

any
part
of
the

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
