I am looking around, what other mid engine trannies are out there???

Toyota MR2 , probably easy to get at a junk yard
NSX Not so easy to get
Ferrari , unobtanium

Boxter
914
What else?

I know the MR2 and the NSX are both trying paddle shifting autos...

Just want to find a better solution.

Could a jag tranny or even a 928 tranny fit reasonably well?
How about Heiland (sp) I am not sure if that is even the name, but I have seen them on small openwheel racers...
