now if we could just get something along those lines for the manual or even a 2wd sporty transmission we would all be laughing!

just thinking out loud here...

so currently the idea being tossed around only supports the autos? the difference between the zuk/volvo auto's and the kia is the rear end of the tranny were the transfer case would bolt up, correct?

what all would be required to make an adapter such as the one above to work with the kia transmissions? does there have to be some sort of a seal there between the transfer case and the transmission? some sort of new output shaft? bearings? i am just trying to figure out how all this works. i still would like to keep the 5spd as much as possible.
