| - A conventional manual transmission is frequently the base equipment in a car; other options include automated transmissions such as an automatic transmission (often a manumatic), a semi-automatic transmission, or a continuously variable transmission (CVT).
- A manual transmission is the type of transmission in a car where the driver must push in the clutch, take their foot off the gas pedal, and push or pull the gear shift into the desired gear to speed up or slow down as required. Cars with a manual transmission in 1985 included (to name but a few) the DeLorean time machine, Marty McFly's Toyota Hilux, and George McFly's BMW 733i.
- The 510 came with a F4W63 4spd standard transmission with syncromesh forward gears. It was characterized by a heavily ribbed aluminum central case and integral bell housing with a bolt on removable bottom pan with drain plug, a middle steel adapter plate containing the attached gears and an aluminum tail stock with driver's side speedometer. The only L series transmission to do so. It was approximately 26.3" long and considered a 'short tail' transmission. The same transmission was used in the '70-'72.5 521 truck, but had a flange output which has to be removed if used for swapping, and the '72.5-'73 620 truck, but without the flanged output.

- The DMC-12 manual transmission is a constant-mesh five-speed. All forward gears are fully synchronized for ease of shifting. The aluminum case consists of two halves which, when repair is necessary, can be separated to provide easy access to internal parts.

The same transmission was used in the '70-'72.5 521 truck, but had a flange output which has to be removed if used for swapping, and the '72.5-'73 620 truck, but without the flanged output. The F4W63 used a rubber mounted 'A' type shifter which was usually quite worn and sloppy and known as the infamous 'monkey motion' shifter. The wagon used a wider ratio gear set while the sedan, a closer one, with less RPM drop between shifts. A popular 5spd swap was to install the transmission from a first generation 200sx (S-10)'77-'79. Though not a very tough transmission, and somewhat rare, it was adequate for the stock L16 motor of the 510. This 5 spd had a unique 'dog leg' shift pattern either loved or hated by owners. No alterations are needed. If the 510 drive shaft is shortened, a Roadster 5spd can be used. This will require the removable bell housing to be replaced with an L series from an early 240/260 Z car or the Z car transmission itself. Quite rare but very tough transmission. With a shortened drive shaft the 'long tail' FS5W71B 5spd from a '77-'79 620 truck OR the '77-'79 280Z car can be used. Both these transmissions have the same wide ratio gear sets. A 'close ratio' FS5W71B from the '80-'83 280ZX can also be used providing less RPM drops between shifts. All three have the same physical dimensions but may or may not have a neutral switch or hi gear switch in addition to the reverse light switch.
- The DMC-12 manual transmission is a constant-mesh five-speed. All forward gears are fully synchronized for ease of shifting. The aluminum case consists of two halves which, when repair is necessary, can be separated to provide easy access to internal parts. The final drive components are contained within the transmission case. Both the final drive and transmission use the same lubricant. All gears are selected manually by the driver using the gearshift lever attached to the selector lever mounted on the side of the transmission rear housing. Inside the rear housing, a selector shaft arm, attached to the selector shaft, fits through a slot in the pivoting interlock. When a gear is selected, the selector shaft arm moves the interlock to the desired position and moves the appropriate shift rod in or out depending upon the gear selected. The shift fork attached to the shift rod moved the desired gear into the proper position while the synchronizer ring matches the soeed of the two gears being coupled. This shift sequence is repeated for all forward gears. Reverse operation is the same with the exception of the synchronizer ring, which is not required, since the vehicle should be stationary when shifting to reverse.
