OK all, I've spent the last year restoring a 73 2.0 with my son. For the last 2 months we have been trying to teach him to operate the clutch. I give! During this same time, I've been able to teach his younger brother and sister to drive the clutch. Guess some people can't figure it out. So I am considering updating to an automatic. Been researching the web and it appears the transaxle from the Audi 4000 is a good candidate. I would like to keep the standard 914 2.0 engine. Anybody have any experience in such a swap? What costs are involved other than the trans? Where do you go to get an adapter plate?
Little help and advice! Thanks! |

I agree that a 914 might not be the best car to learn with. I had a 280Z that you could just dump the clutch and it would jerk and lurch, but refuse to stall. Taught a lot of people to drive a manual on the car.
