Re: choping trans tunnel

the widest trans tunnels are in the gt's both auto and manual had the same tunnel, however the auto 1600 had the same tunnel as the gt's the manual 1600 had a narrower tunnel. i measured 1 today for my own project and the tunnel at the front gearbox mount is 330mm wide and where the shifter hole in the tunnal is about 230mm-240mm. from what i know a toploader is about 300mm wide.
