Nice picture. Why is your motor and tranny on a dolly?

 

[daltron]

That's a S197 drivetrain, I just found the picture on the internet.

The stock shifter behind the MT-82 is a remote mount shifter.

This is what the stock shifter looks like

Oh well, I like the picture anyway.

I've never heard of a manual tranny that uses cables.

Subaru WRX uses cables

Remote mount, direct linkage

Front wheel drive, tranverse mounted engine/tranny = cable.

My 1978 Ford Fiesta had cable controlled shifter. Yes, I had a 78 Fiesta. And yes, I modded it

Then they use a cable that's inside of a metal sheath?

I just answered my own question by looking it up. A cable system like that is essentially a solid linkage with 'some' flexibility. You cannot push with a stand alone cable.

I didn't realize the bell housing and transmission were all one piece.

Every single FWD car does.

The V160/161 from the MKVI Supra is also a Getrag and has a remote shifter. Probably saves half a foot of main shaft and tail housing. Not sure if there are any other benefits. I prefer the shifter attached directly to the transmission.

You should be surprised if you see a trans with a removable bellhousing. Most transmissions have had integrated bell housings for the past couple decades.
