Re: [tech][non-rocco] A2 tranny swap

Hmmm... you'll have to figure out how to drill some holes in the case to get
the A2 style tranny mount on there. That could be difficult! My experience with
this says that you can't put A1 trannies in an A2 chassis, although you can put
A2 transmissions in the A1 chassis. The problem is that there is nowhere to
mount that bracket that bolt onto the tranny mount on the A2 chassis cars.
    GL!
