Actually there is no transmission at all, being dependent on the electric motors also to provide reverse "gear".

No easy approach if you swap the trans for a manual!

Sure I wouldn't expect any approach to be easy. Either trying to replicate the IMA setup or some BAS-Hybrid could be considered instead. On a sidenote, trying some sort of analogue to the power-split device in order to allow a belted starter-generator to move the car entirely on electricity would be an interesting challenge too...
