Stupid question.

What type of size/spline count does the original honda insight 5mt transmission have?

20 splines ? What diameter?

Ditto the daihatsu charade.

I am thinking very strongly of dropping the transmission into my fathers miles zx40, dimensions are SCARILY similar in a few odd places but I have no desire to pull it all apart to test the halfshafts and input.

I wonder though if the transmission would survive tilted up a bit, too many things line up per eyeball guage in weird ways.

My thought is the daihatsu charade is a 18 spline and smaller (or maybe I am wrong), so the electric motor might be possible to love joy in there with a simple adapter to fit the smaller spline into the larger one, or maybe I am nuts.

Anyone have any ideas where to find exact specs of the Daihatsu and the Insight?

A couple adapters to make my fathers car shiftable with a deralect XMSN I will never use would be terrific.

Thanx
Ryan
