All manual trans models of 280Z came with 4-speeds standard. 5-speeds were available as an option in '77 and '78 cars. You can find 4 and 5-speed ratios at the Datsun Garage website, http://geocities.com/zgarage2001/ratios.gif. They are basically the same as 5-speeds of the era except of course for the 5th overdrive gear.
