I don't believe it so much that the tranny has any different length throws, but it may be that the shift lever is a bit longer on the single rail, and thus the problems you've been hearing about inc

Just went out the GT6 to stick something in the back (took it to work today), and discovered that the darn rear hatch seemed awfully heavy and wouldn't stay in its fully upright and locked position.

Well yes and no. If you mean unbolt on and replace it with another without doing anything else no. But one can replace all the necessary bits and achieve the desired result. The single rail with J ty

I am assuming we're talking about a 1500 Spitfire? Well you could install the MK4 axles. That would give you a 2 inch narrower track though. I am running 205/60 13's on 6 inch rims and had no problem
