Any update on this? Interested in seeing the drawings as I'm looking to install one in my FC as well! Love the build!

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.
