The side shifter and external shift rods on the Jerico look like they're going to cause problems in the RX-8 tunnel.
I'm sure it's a dumb question and not up on all the rules, but are transmissions basically completely open for whatever in Street Mod?

Your option looks pretty awesome, but I assume you can easily get the gearing where you want it for autocross?
