Sorry, I didn't get see my reply notification.
Nothing has changed since I installed the transmission. It's gone through a couple dozen autocross events and survived without issues. I ended up having a custom driveshaft built because my U-joints were going out, and I wanted the perfect length rather than using the auto shaft which is about an inch short.
Edit: I already posted about the driveshaft, my bad.
The car is making around 400whp still and broke an axle stub, but the trans is keeping up so far.
Thanks!

As far as the drawings go, I haven't had the trans out since I installed it. So I don't have the dimensions for you. However, it was pretty simple to build the relocation bracket. The only thing special about the setup was extending the shift rod and having a cup machined for the ball of the shifter. If I ever have the trans out I will try to remember to get some measurements.
