I see what you mean.
It did have the oddball dogleg shift pattern. I sold it about 3 years ago? To a guy who was putting it in a mg I believe. A little roadster looking car. I think an adapter is required for their swap. Rivergate comes to mind. I got good money for that tranny. I had a few east coast people respond to my c-list ad. They were hard up for it but shipping something that big/heavy sucks.
