It has to be mid-engined, because the shift linkage comes from in front of the engine, yet the transaxle is still behind.   Gotta be one of those little tiny Jap trucks....

Just forget I ever said anything about the cab. It's not a truck.

Honda Z?

I don't even know what that is.

I said it was nothing exotic, not for an American.

I don't care about all that shit.  I'll be going to college to get an education at a cost to my parents.  I'm not going to fool around.

:praise:

Just kept thinking of front-drive cars with north-south engines, and I realized no one guessed a Chrysler LH car.

the Teuton

Why does that car look like it had an AWD option, even though it never did?

LH was designed to be 'flexible': it could accommodate front, rear and all-wheel-drive. They just never took advantage of it.

Many of the original chassis mules used Eagle Premier bodies with a 360 V8 underneath the hood, powering the rear wheels.

The original design for the LX chassis was based on LH, but when Daimler took over they threw it out and insisted developing a new chassis from scratch incorporating Mercedes-Benz parts.

As a side note, I happen to be rebuilding this particular A606 transaxle, and the fucking input clutch assembly alone is a beast. I never imagined they could fit so many different snap rings, clutch discs, and clutch pistons all in one little cylinder, but they did.

I've heard the A606, while fundamentally similar in many respects to the transverse A604, is several times more complicated to work on. :lol:

Also, someone else can take the next one. I don't have time.

So far, I have printed out around 200-300 pages of procedures from Alldata, and my 3-ring binder can no longer close. Need to upgrade to one of those giant 3-inch ones.

That's a shame. Chrysler was once an innovation leader in the industry. That didn't seem to last too long.

Let's just hope they do some badge innovating and turn some Fiat 500 Abarth's into Dodge Omni GLH's...
