This is a great discussion. Recently I have been looking under Camaro's,
Firebirds and other GM models for transmissions. When I saw the torque arm
on the Camaro and Firebird I instantly thought of adapting it to the Tiger.
Whether I ever do or not this discussion has given much food for thought.
Keep it coming.
