126286, Would this PT mtx fit in a 1997 2g
Posted by dalesmitsu, Jun-26-09 12:29 AM
I found a hard to find manual transmission for a 2005-2008 Turbo PT CRUISER.

I think the PT turbo actually used a Getrag trans instead of New Venture, so probably not.

Take a close look at the mounts, bolt pattern, axles, and shift levers.

Thankyou, and bummer this thing looks so pretty, though here's a few pics.

it will bolt to the engine and the axles will work
you would need custom made mounts

it could be nice to try to fit one

I have a pt turbo atx in my car
however it's just a beefier a604

Thanks man :thumbsup

Question do you have the transgo shift kit for the a604, also. If you do what ar your views about it, good and bad.

I watched an half hour tutitoral install over at transmission exchange. It seems great for the a604, unsure about racing with it though.

I don't have the shift kit
I did a complete regular 420a A604 to PT Turbo A604

I had to swap the flexplate, torque converter, starter because they were all beefier and larger
and take from the old one the mounts and the cable linkage

some bolt holes were not as deep on the newer tranny I needed to use a bunch of washers to space the crossmember mount properly or used shorter bolts



as you can see the atx mounts don't look at all like ours
