If only alfa had further developed these transaxles, could have truly been such a set up, instead we dream of what could have beeen... :(

Yes but they didn't, they were owned by the Italian Goverment at the time, and when they were sold to Fiat, they had to make money and the Alfa, Lancia and Fiat models had to share components to cut costs, a true sequintial gearbox will only work with dog teeth engagement, and you would need to modify all the shifting rods and arrange for a camshaft on the back of the transaxle, not an easy thing to do, Colin.
