I am looking around, what other mid engine trannies are out there???
Toyota MR2 , probably easy to get at a junk yard NSX Not so easy to get Ferrari , unobtanium Boxter 914 What else? I know the MR2 and the NSX are both trying paddle shifting autos... Just want to find a better solution. Could a jag tranny or even a 928 tranny fit reasonably well? How about Heiland (sp) I am not sure if that is even the name, but I have seen them on small openwheel racers... rich |

You mean consider it a mid-engined car? Never. Lamborghini Muiras have transverse mounted 12s, and until the SA/SV, the transaxle and motor shared oil, and were one unit... not that it's important to this conversation, but that is the only super-duper transverse mounting I know of.... or can think of off the top of this thing I keep what's left of my brain in. Oh, but the Muira is a mid-engined car... the package is well forward of the rear axles. Look at the MR2 motor/trans package assembly... the CG is about 3 feet off the ground..
