4 Spd Jerico w/ '99 Motor
#64
For reference, I'm putting a T101a in my RX7 right now, which I presume has a wider tunnel than the Miata. It took about 2" of clearancing the tunnel with a BFH, mostly near the top of the tunnel, and will require that I use an offset shifter arm. The Jericho's exterior dimensions are pretty close to the T101a. Keep in mind that when Nascar first introduced the COT, that shifter offset was enough to make them go to a center rail trans so they could move the driver another inch or two inboard.

I ended up cutting more than expected out of tunnel to fit in the RX7. Shifter setback plays an important part. Shorter you are, better off you were in my case. I had mine come up right through the middle (front to back measurement) of the shifter hole, but ended up cutting about a 6" strip out of the trans tunnel to clear the Hurst setup. Also had to remove the factory crossmember mounts on the RX7 tunnel to clear the linkage itself.
