To check the transmission oil on a 1981 Datsun 280ZX, first ensure the vehicle is on a level surface. With the engine running and the transmission in park or neutral, remove the dipstick located on the transmission. Wipe it clean, reinsert it fully, and then remove it again to check the oil level. The oil should be within the marked range on the dipstick; add fluid if necessary.

Is a 1980 Datsun 280zx transmission the same as a 1981 Datsun 280zx transmission?
Yes. For the most part all 1979-1983 280zx transmissions are pretty much the same, manual to manual and auto to auto. The turbo transmission from 81-83 however is a Borg Warner T-5 style toploader. Something tells me through experience is that they will bolt up to a non turbo motor, but the driveshafts and rear end will need to be changed. Also, be aware that the older Z's from 70-78 will bolt up, but the driveshafts would definitely need to be swapped, especially if you are putting a 4 speed into it for whatever reason.
