>>flywheel, generator, and various other bits.

>>Includes transmission! This is a weird item: automatic trans
>>with six positions/notches on the shifter arm plus a kickdown
>>lever. It doesn't use a torque convertor or clutch, but just a
>>disc that looks like a clutch disc, but has boltholes instead of
>>a friction material. It bolts onto the flywheel (included with
>>the engine) and drives the transmission directly. This is all
>>that i know about the transmission. Perhaps an RX-7 stickshift
>>could be mated to the engine instead?

>>My price is $500 for everything, not including shipping.
>>I'm in austin, texas..
