It will have the advantage that you don't have to route a selector mechanism around the universe with ball joints etc. It is a straight bolt in solution if you have enough room in the engine bay.

Naturally it will have the disadvantage that you are using an automatic in a sports car, and the automatic box will be heavier and bulkier than a manual, but it would be plenty quick with the low overall weight.

If you are against autos for the project then the first place to look for advice could be Smallcar Performance. They convert Vanagons using EG33s, so they may have experience with using VW manual boxes.

While the miata is a rwd car what are you getting at other than smallcar may have some flanges available for the exhaust?

Did I miss something?
