i think european cars have em like that, coz i know a VW beetle has it in the left, and so do some alfa romeos.

theres nothing special about the box its just an early tx 4spd, the gearbox is the same as used in the old isuzu belettes (not spelt right i dont think) the late tx's came out with the other 4spd with reverse right and down i think. on the early box the mounts are about 70mm further foward than on late boxes but the ratios are all the same.
hope that helps
