The engine came out of a 1947 Chrysler ambulance. It has a torque converter in front of a clutch assembly. the converter was filled to certain level to give a stall converter affect. then a clutch with standard tranny was behind that. The end of the engine is the torque converter. We took the output shafts from the old standard and the new t5, cut, machined and welded to fit old clutch. When you drive it, it feels just like a regular stick but you can feather the clutch out at a stop like an automatic and just gas to go. I have no idea why Chrysler did this but it does work, mind you the engine with clutch and converter weighs 1000 lbs or so
