I do have the GTX one just like yours Daniel. and Rocketman, some of the VERY early BFMR GTX's came with cable clutched transmissions.

oh ok. I got my drive shaft shortened 3 1/4 inch and mounted.

Nerd has a BG GTX trans, viscious (sp?) LSD just like yours

[daniel_cogar]

its a bpt transmission not the gtx 1.6... bg awd cable shifter and hydro clutch. mine doesnt use the diff lock motor like nerd's awd transmission. I think his is the bf also?

[Damkid]

^^they (Daniel and nerd) are both using BG AWD tranny's

[Rocketman]

I was referring to the B6T G5MR "cable clutch" transmissions. They engine mounts perfectly vertical on them. (in reference to your comparison of the BP's at ohiostiva)

There are no cable clutch AWD mazda transmissions. Both the BF and BG awd use hydro clutch systems

[Nerd Racing]

he is running a cable trans in his AWD setup.

[Rocketman]

You're also running a BP trans and not a cable G trans. Different clocking

[Nerd Racing]

hmm... mine is further forward than most of the BP swapped guys' setups from what I saw at Ohiostiva. It's clocked more as well. I have to crawl under it and see how "straight" the drive shaft angles will be.

[daniel_cogar]

hey did your BP end up further forward than oem and lower in the engine bay?

no it just has a mild tilt forward for the tail shaft to clear.

Watched my bro yesterday work on truckstiva and the progress is insane. It's crazy how the festiva Is moderately accepting these parts. On most of it u can barely tell any of it was fabricated!

okay I ordered a cv axle from napaonline hope it actually makes it here. update for the day I got the engine and trans mounts fabbed up removed the x-member so Im all done with motor and tranny mounts. next is the drive shaft tomorrow gonna see what its going to take to mount it and measure how much needs shortened. will update as progress is made

[Nerd Racing]
