I don't understand this response. I may be wrong, but I don't think there is any difference in the transmission placement between the GT6 and Spitfire. True, the GT6 bell housing is deeper and I am sure that is compensated by the placement of the engine forward so that the transmission is in the same place on both vehicles.
Someone please tell me if I have not been observant when working on these cars.
