Fairly straight forward. I think that you may need the bell housing
from the Spit, as well as a driven disc from the later Spit. Not
sure about the driveshaft. ISTR that the later Spits and the TR7
used the same single rail gearbox. I think that the 5 speed box
is externally the same as the early TR7 4 speed ones.
