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 |

Part of the advantages of running Boxster S transmission is the cables/shifter all work
Perfect together.The bonus is extra gear 6 Speed....... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i1315.photobucket.com-15718-1458522267.1.jpg) |

Actually, the advantage is a large R&P - the weak spot for the 5 speeds. The 5 & 6 speeds are two totally different animals from a durability stand point. Part of the advantages of running Boxster S transmission...The bonus is extra gear 6 Speed....... Never thought about braking the trans...I'm putting 350ish hp through mine and have had no trouble. Price was right,paid 750 for my 2000 with 100k on it.Got the stock cable's and shifter too. Ebay |

Ebay A local shop that builds Boxster (BSR) race cars, said the 5 speeds are junk and they go through quite a few of them. They said the Boxster 6 speed is much stronger. |
