No not that type of Tranny.
Bill M or Gerald perhaps can answer this one. Bill I know Paul was working on Miata transmissions as a possible replacement to the Datsun boxes. Did he look at the GM 5 speeds as a possibility. I know they come in a variety of case variations that position the shifter as much as 12" fore and aft. My buddy has a MGB-GT with a 3.8 V-6 and GM 5 Speed behind it. Don't think he mentioned needing any modifications to tranny tunnel to install.
Someone else on the list here has a Spridget equipped with a GM V-6. I'll assume a GM 5 Speed is attached.
These transmissions are plentiful and certainly can handle Spridget horsepower. Has anyone looked at this transmission as a potential donor with the proper bellhousing adapter?
