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 |

QUOTE I'm not sure which axle is stronger- has anyone used a resplined Suby axle instead of the 914? One might think that the years have made a stronger axle to use. Then again, maybe it's not long enough? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I haven't heard that line in years... WOW this thread rattled some cages!! So the vw axles are hollow, yes the subaru axles can be resplined. But what are you trying to fix by changing trans to a later version? Suby / suby I get it's a no brainer. Audi/vw / vw I get. Aircooled/ Audi or suby? Not sure if the extra work would be worth it. Jcl |
