6A13 uses the same bell housing as the 4G93/4 trans atleast the bolt pattern location is the same but it relocates the starter to the top vs the bottom like on the original AWD trans or a Evo trans.


However the 6A13 trans is the same as the evo just with a different bellhousing.

Stupid question, but I assume its pretty easy to swap the bell housings over, as long as you have the correct one for the engine you are fitting the box to?

Obviously the main reason we are looking into this (myself) is the drag racing aspect. Andrew is willing to toss the car down the quarter occasionally but is working on the Sportronic for the sequential aspect of the transmission.

The other benefits are people that for whatever reason CANNOT figure out a stick. I know them, they are out there. They grind every gear, can't take off on a hill, sit there with the clutch pushed in at a light, etc.

There are those that are paralyzed or in some other way not able to operate a clutch actuated transmission. A set of hand controls or just the Auto facet and now they can drive a car that they only could ride in before. I think there is tremendous application across the board. Now comes the hard part...testing.

Seeing as they already built the GTA, I always wondered why Mitsu didn't build a US market auto 8 . Based on this thread it seems there would have been good demand for it.

I think that is one of the reasons the X MR is the way it is. Day late and dollar short on that one though for having a run of north american Evos spanning 5 years.

I guess? I myself have never done a bellhousing swap but the GVR4 guys do all the time.
