Anyone know where I can pick up a TC transaxle for a Zetec conversion on my S2.

Bill

Lotus Supplies sells NG3 Renault trannies (https://www.lotus-supplies.com/parts/gearbox/renault-gearbox/gearbox-ng3-s-13/ ) including shift linkage you’ll need a TC bell housing (I think they are reproductions) which they also sell but you may be able to find one cheaper. Apparently, Zetecs had different bell housing bolt pattern, something I was surprised to hear, so you should check that yours has the Kent bell housing bolt pattern.

Jim: going to assume this is a refreshed/rebuilt 365?  Just wondering...and spitballing...

No. The NG3 comes from a Renault Turbo Fuego. No Lotus-only parts made of unobtainium. It had a more recent production run so parts are more readily available. I have one in my car.
