The 56-series is the stock Datsun 1200 transmission. It was fitted to all RWD B-series Datsuns with A12 and A13 engines. It is desigend to handle the torque of an A12 or A13, but for A14 and A15 engines a 60-Series Transmission is recommended. Standard models used 3-speed 56s, while most models used 4-speed versions. The Datsun 1200 GX-5 used a 5-speed.

5-Speed
The 56-series transmission came factory stock in Datsun 1200 GX-5 models. They were also sold by Datsun Competition. This means they are very rare and hence expensive.
The advantages of the 56 over other 5-speeds is:
- It is non-overdrive, and hence desirable for certain types of racing
- It is a dogleg shifter (as is the 63 and 60L for A-series engine)
- It is light and small
- It bolts into any Datsun 1200 using factory parts. The other 5-speeds need slight modifications.
