Wait until you get it apart before you make any decision. If you're
lucky it may be just a clutch problem, like the center broke out of
the disc. Or maybe the flywheel bolts sheared off; although it
sounds like a broken trans input shaft, which isn't too terribly
serious. You can rebuild yours, or possibly find a good used one
for a few hundred dollars, plus $200 for a new clutch set and
related parts. Or you can spend the big bucks for a Datsun 5-
speed. If you go the Datsun route, be sure to get a rebuilt one
from someone reputable. A friend recently did the Datsun coversion
using a "guaranteed good" tranny. After it was installed, it turned
out to be just plain worn out - no second gear syncro at all. The
guarantee? "We'll give you another "good one".
