First off forgive my ignorance on porsche transmissions but it seems i can buy the later transmissions cheaper than the 930 or 915's. My question is can a 1999 996 6-speed be used with a 914-V8 conversion?
What has to be done to make it work? Etc, etc.
Thanks guys

You'd probably be better off trying to mate a BoxsterS 6 speed, at least you wouldn't have to worry about the ring and pinion. IF you could put a 996 transmission in a 914, with a V8, I'm thinking it would be much more expensive than doing what has already been done before, as in 915. It's your wallet.

I think there's a lot of 996 owners asking if they can swap a 914 trans into their cars!

I cant remember if the 996 trans is a G55, a G50/5. or a G55/5. Its some combination of those. One is a cup trans, one is a street trans, and the other is bogus. I believe all the dimensions are the same though (between the g50 and g55, and g50/5). So if you get a 993 g50 trans to fit, you can get a 996 trans to fit.

My understanding is a g50 from a 993 or 964 is too long for a 914, but I failed out of grade school.

Check with Kennedy Engineering to see if they make an adapter and clutch/flywheel for your V8. You would be way ahead w/the Boxter S 6 speed ( same trans as the 996) as the ring gear is already flopped and it's set up for mid engine shifting. You may be a pioneer, so keep us in the loop!

check the starter location on the boxter trannys, last I checked it was on the engine side, meaning that when you bolt it an to a v8 finding a home for your starter might get a little interesting. flipping a g-50 or 5050 is no problem we do it all the time at renegade hybrids give us a call, we would be happy to walk you through your options. also remember that you might have to cut your rear trunk floor to clear the diff of a g-50 or 5050.
