Has anyone use the boxter tranny in a teener? I'm wondering too about the gears and strength for a V8 application.

I know it can be done BUT, For a V8 I would put a subaru (2010-2012) Diesel 6 speed in. Good low rpms and new they are only 3600.00. Plus the diesel suby cluch is rated at 350 flb stock on a push style.
Not sure of the boxster. But then again there is the tdi audi from euro that would have the lower gearing and look just like the boxster?? Just saying.. Jcl |

Lots of tork to push thru a tranny. Youd have to have a 500 hp gasser to get that kind of tork. What hp are the boxters putting out? I remember seeing an artical about the boxter trannys using a sealed bearing that was failing at 20k miles. The fix was a rebuild and unseal it so the tranny oil could lub the bearings. |

"Higher" gearing means more MPH with fewer RPMs, not the other way around. The Cap'n |
