I popped into the garage this morning to test fit the adapter plate to the transmission first (since I already had the OEM bolts on hand). Everything lined up great. Here are two photos of the test fit:
Temporary alignment pins were gently tapped into the transmission with a small hammer until they seated properly. Next, I threaded all the bolts at the bottom and inserted the longer bolts through the holes in the top of the transmission. These will require nuts and washers on the back side. Below you can see the input shaft is well centered with the motor-side pilot hole, indicating a good alignment.
This photo puts the scale of the tiny transmission into perspective. Especially considering how small a Yaris is. Speaking of small, the adapter plate weighs in at just under 12 lbs. Despite being machined from a solid piece of aluminum, the finished piece turned out relatively light.
Next up, test fitting the adapter plate to the Warp9 motor.
