I have no intention of disassembling the trans if I buy one, but if I remember correctly, in order to get the trans into and out of an early a body, you have to take the shifter off. It's been 15 years since I had mine out, so my memory might be foggy. I was just concerned about wear of the bolt holes in the event the shifter does need to come off to R & R the trans.
How do I get on the list to find out when you will have a trans that fits the early a?
Thanks!
Do you have to remove the shifter mounting plate to get the trans out of the car ?
