You know, if you back 3" trannie now you have shifter out of the hole.
I take small arm from other trans. and i weld at the front.
I made all other parts.
I don't know if it's the best solution, but it's work good.

I'm guessing thats kgs and not lbs. Still, that's a hell of a weight savings considering you have an extra rotor. What's your secret?

Yes, this weight is in Kgs. I thing the big secret is to stay with oem subframe, light oil pan, light flywheel and headers.
