Hi,
We just put a T/Spark transaxle in a non isostatic equiped GTV6 (not my orange one) and found issues with the linkages hitting the floor pan, any help will be appreciated, we don't want to take the box back out and open it up to put the non isostatic selector in the T/S box.
Thanks
Dave ???
As I understand, there is not enough space between the mount and the body for the isostatic shift linkage. It is possible, to make more room by using a heavy hammer on the floor pan. Have never done it but it may explain the clunking when I change gears in my GTV (I hope so!)
Yep, but does that mean that the body on the Isostatic equiped GTV6's are different than the older ones.
Thanks
Dave
I thought that these boxes were only fitted to the 75 models?
As far as I know there are only 2 cures. Use the 2lb doctor on the floor pan or pull the box apart and fit a 116 selector shaft in it. While you are at it you may as well change the speedo drive shaft too and fit the original Veglia sender to the box if you want the simple answer to a working speedo.

Yes, they are. In a number of ways:
- extra clearance for the isostatic linkage (there is a visible "bump" in the floor ahead if the rear seat)
- removable cross member at the rear of the bellhousing support
- shorter front bars
