There seems to be a dearth of info. when it comes to the MTX75 rod actuated trans. I opened mine up last weekend and although the instructions and how to provided here give a basic procedure, there are differences and some incorrect info. My gearbox is an early to mid yr. 95 unit.

However, if you too have a rod actuated transaxle don't worry. The shifter forks are similiar and can be upgraded. Tranny is not in the car yet, so I cannot comment on the shift feel with upgraded forks. Sure looked better and slid on the shafts nice and easy though.

Anyhow, if anyone is contemplating work on an early transaxle & needs encouragement or further info. PM me.
