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 |

I was told by a trusted source one could also cut and modify the bellhousing to make it fit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) ....cutting.... I'm toying with that idea as well. One plus I see with cutting is that it makes for a shorter flywheel from some quick drawings and thoughts about it. It does change the angle of the axles a bit. Making sure the newly cut surface is acceptably perpendicular with the output shaft is a concern. I'm trying to avoid gutting the transmission in order to move it or set it up easier for modification. |
