Fatzook is in the process of widening his tunnel also. He is doing vit manual, however he made a template off Matt's ute which has the auto. At a guess there would be at least 60-80mm off each side and cut out almost the whole way up, then just plated back up if that makes sense???

hey AJ, my application is a little different but to fit the corolla 3 spd in I had to stretch the tunnel on the passenger side out by around 40mm and about 20mm on the drivers side to clear the sump pan.

Assuming the pan and lines etc on the 3sp take up the same amount of room as the 4sp, I'd say a good 50mm per side, and back to where the floor steps up in the height from the footwell. I'll get a pic of my floor for you. Its all marked out ready to cut.

Why?
I got a 1.6 and auto under a 1L bonnet with no BL. Surely you can do it with a 1.3L bonnet
