Curiosity got me to pondering the above questions....
Suppose non-Subaru motor for the Subaru transmission and non-Boxster/Audi engine for the Boxster transmission. What about axles and hooking up to the drive hubs? One easier or vastly less expensive than the other? EDIT 2/21/2016: Now with pictures comparing Boxster transmission to 901 transmission |

After some research and pondering about this and that, I decided that for me, the ideal transmission between the Subaru and Boxster would be from a Passat (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)
From what I've read and heard, the Passat 5 speed transmission is nearly identical and is a near direct swap with the Boxster transmission (5 speed, not the 6 speed version) $200 for this puppy, not too bad. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-87-1444711654.jpg) |

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-87-1444711654.jpg) Since you like to machine, you will have no problem making an adapter from the 130mm tripoidal flanges to a 100mm or 108mm or even 94mm CV. You can also buy the 100mm flanges and literally pop them in without modification. Boxster had them and some VW's. The VW version will be cheaper if you can find it. Somewhere in my and Andys build threads you will see the trick adapters he made. for the tripoidal flanges. Don't know why VW calls them tripoidal when they clearly have 6 points...
