If you use the earlier trans, you'll be left screwing with manifolds, and if you use a trans from the 20v engine, you'll need to extensively modify the shifter linkages to get them to hook up to the MR2.

Oh, and mr220v knows his sh*t when it comes to these swaps. He's awesome.
When you say "the spot", are you referring to an opening when I can mount the starter? What would that really entail when moving the started from one side to the other.

The I believe I have the C52 trans, so that sounds easier to mess with for sure. But isn't the C56? transmission better built for the BT engine? I've seen the write ups (MKI MR2 Write-ups) and it doesn't look that difficult.

Yeah, mr220v is a badass. I'm going to have him do the harness when I finally save up a small fortune for the BT and the fee for the harness PNP
