pretty good, you have to put a small 1/4" dent to clear one of the bellhousing bolts. You can pull the tranny in car, but unfortunatly, you can't pull the bellhousing off in car. Not unless you wanted to drill holes in the firewall so the bolt will come out far enough.

Who's kit is it? Do you have anymore details? I am finishing up my rx7's LSX swap now, but my brother and I have been thinking about maybe a 5.3 into his miata.
