I cut a 5" square hole in the center tunnel floor to gain access to the
speedo cable and rear tranny mount on the 5 speed.
74 and later Midgets had this hole so it does not hurt the structure of
the car. And I have had this hole in 2 Sprites now, they still are in
one piece.
As for pulling the engine ONLY from the 5 speed, it's a piece of cake.
I have done it at least once a year for 6 or 7 years now.
Neversieze those bolts at the bell housing so you can remove them easily
in the future.
