Oddly, Someone confirmed the lotus adapter plate is not even needed.. I think it was to mount the starter differently.. It was a mk3 spyder swap...

and yeah, Absurd power prob will not wok out well with the F40 or ANY fwd transaxle. but it is rated for 295 ft/lb and the typical swaps seem to be okay with it.

I though the EA / EB did bolt to the 3s without an adapter plate?

I heard the F35 had cracking issues too, and the F23 was actually stronger than it, but I did not hear anything bad on the F40. Either way, It is cheap for a brand new transmission!

yeah they do 700+ whp through this transmission and the F23 and F35 variants.

This is a GM transmission made by Getrag. It has absolutely nothing to do with toyota or the E153. If you want a 6 speed, use the toyota 6 speed that mates to the 3s. See the v6 forum for more info on that. this is specificaly for people doing crazy cool swaps such as the LS4 or 3800 supercharged motor that want a manual tranny. It will be very custom for axles, mounts, linkages/cables etc. In fact, if you mate it to the 5.3L LS4 there is no way to mount a starter unless you cut a hole in the case and use a bracket. The fiero forums have how to threads on this.
