Yes, I have.

How is it? How does everything fit? Was it pretty straight forward? Any photos? Also, can you take the bellhousing off the Z32 trans so they can weld on it? I would hope so for shipping reasons.

I imagine this is a kick arse swap.

A few guys on Hybridz have done it and there was a group buy already for the trans and adapters. Thinking about it for my L30ET build.

Yes, the bell housing is removable. The shifter feel is fantastic with the short shifter installed; throws are short and precise.

The trans bolt up nicely if the bell housing is machined correctly and the adapter is goo quality.

The trans is HEAVY, about 120 lbs and it is a TIGHT fit.

You need a custom rear trans mount.

I would only do this swap if you are putting down serious power. I am pushing 410 wheel ft-lbs. I CHEWED up a 78 5-speed; I mean chunks were in the fluid.

KTM- You are right...heavy as hell and only worth it if you are running high HP L6 motor. I am building a L30ET motor and don't really want to be going through a bunch of trans. I guess I can granny shift and not beat on it. =)
