These days I'm driving Mike's 1970 teener since I broke my 73. With no radio I get to listen to the sweet sound of the 1.7L behind me and I get lots of time to think (probably a dangerous thing!).(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)
So I got to thinking about transmissions and I remember someone commenting that there was a cable-shifter available from Patrick Motorsports, but that even though it is better than a stock side-shifter it still isn't as smooth as modern transmissions that were made to be cable-shifted. It being that Kennedy seems to make adapters to fit anything, is there a cable shifted transmission out there that would be a natural fit for a 914? (Of course you probably have to flip the ring gear.) Subarus come to mind as a possibility just because they have flat-4 engines, but I have no idea about anything else about the cars. |

I thought the Passat had a transverse drivetrain, like the Golf/Rabbit? If so, that wouldn't be such a great donor.
ZF made some transmissions for cars like the Pantera and other mid-engine'd cars with various motors. Some of them were transverse, but some (like the Pantera, I believe) were longitudinal. You might be able to hunt one of those down and adapt it. But why? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) --DD |
