tranny question

Post by Berbz »

ok so i heard that some automatic cars for example hondas and others have a little spot for a clutch specifically for if one was to ever do a manual tranny swap. Does the mx3 have this?
Does anyone know what i am talking about or am i just crazy? haha

I doubt it.

I don't understand, to mate to the auto flywheel? that doesn't make any sense.

Just get a manual flywheel and a decent, normal clutch...

I thought he meant a spot for a clutch pedal?? If so, you can put a clutch pedal in by swapping to the manual pedal brackets.

yeah i meant in some automatic cars they make a specific spot for a clutch pedal for if a tranny swap was to happen it would make things easier. I dont really know exactly, i just overheard some guy talking about it one day.

almost all unibody cars were made from the same mold for any given model so yes it has all the same holes as a standard car if its an auto, so holes in the firewall etc are all the same right across the board. Its cheaper to make 1 unibody and just close off the uneeded holes with a grommet.
