Why aren't they used in 914 conversion cars? I did a search on the board for 944 transmission but came up blank. For a six speed a 968 transmission could be used.
I'm sure there is a reason why they are not used but I don't know it. Anyone care to enlighten me? |

The 944 trans is nearly identical to the Audi type 016 found in the Audi 5000. Can be had for cheap ($200-$400 range), as there's lots out there. Differences are, that the Audi has a starter/clutch/TO bearing provision, and the 944 does not. Kennedy does make an adapter for a SBC or SBF to the Audi. The 944 turbo differes in that the ratios are taller (trans and diff), has an available LSD, oil cooler, and the inputshaft/1st gear is heat treated. Un-confirmed, is that the turbo trans has larger differential bearings. I don't expect it reasonable to adapt the 016 to a 4 cylinder.
