Hey guys, big time newbie here. Ive been thinking to myself, if the engine and transmission are behind you, how is it that the shifter is way up there by the driver? Thanks
What he said~the tranny is actually at the front of the car... the mr2 uses a complex network of driveshafts and axles to transfer motor output from the rear of the car to the front mounted transmission... the output is then redirected back to the rear wheels via 3 sets of axles. id post pics but theyre on my other comp... hope this helps

I think he only said that because his question has pretty much been answered. And I also found this thread very interesting heh. So the tranny is under the little hump in the middle? Or is it back by the engine? I thought trannies on FWD cars are attached to the engine like on FR cars, but its all just sideway in the engine bay. Anyone?KAMAKAZE said:^ ok man, if your not gonna post anything useful then dont post at all... this guys asking a serious question
:thumbup
