Transmissions, Porsche Transmissions Options

[Randal]

I keep hearing about all the different transmission formats that can be put into a 914 (4 or 6).

One of the guys at Sundays event is building a 914 with a 993 engine with the transmission turned upside down. Now how can that work, i.e., shift patters, etc.

So what are all these different transmission numbers (914/915/?)and what are the differences?

And why are 915 transmissions so expensive?

ZF style from Paul Guard. 80%

I see you slowly moving away from AutoX.. so 80% will be fine. You'll have to learn to drive it again in AutoX (it will want to understear) but within a couple of runs you will have the driving part nailed.

Dont get me wrong.. the whole tranny upside down thing is cool.. but unless he is Lawrence (english speaking guy) or 1-2 other people in our area (Like Hayden from Wevo)... this guy has NO idea what kind of hassle it is to flip a gear box. The four bolts that hold the tranny to the engine are not symetrical. The tranny case has to be cut and welded (while in a jig). Should be cool.
