[TR] Toyota tranny conversion TR6?

[Frank Fisher]

i believe there are a number of different ratio's depending on what model the
W56 was installed in. certainly mine is different that the one i fitted in
buddy Curt's car.
also there are at least 4 different shifter locations again
depending on what model the transmission was installed in.
see this for
shifter locations:

B 
i believe
the nice thing about Herman's kit is he replaces the shifter location housing
with his own well engineered replacement. ask Herman.
