That can't help the integrity of the bellhousing.   :screwy:   Maybe they had chassis clearance problems and it was easier to shoot the tranny more straight up and in instead of coming in from the rear?   :clueless:   :dunno:

Can't see it helping much on getting the tranny in.  Might save an inch or so but the input shaft still has to goe thru the throwout bearing, pressure plate & disk which will still be at the rear.  My guess is that someone tried to force an OD tranny in without resizing the bearing retainer and cracked the housing.  Could be they cut it to clean it up.

Maybe not  :dunno:
