I am sure that it will have already been discussed so pardon my ignorance. Can the crown wheel be switched on a fwd subbie 5speed to allow it to be used as a transaxel. If not what are the difficulties and failing that has anyone tried to run one inverted and does the angel required for the drive shafts pose a problem for the cv's

Hi

It cant be swapped, and the engine bolt pattern is not symetrical like a VW, so inverting is out.

Why not make an adaptor plate that allows you to invert the gearbox?

Thanks for the replies. Any other comments.

Why not make it mid engine and use a cable shifter? I don't speak from experience, just curious.
