I recently bought a 1990 911 with the 3.6 and tiptronic. I love driving it and came up with a crazy idea. I want to put one in my street 914. Has anyone done this? I want to mate it to a 3.6. Is the tiptronic in a boxter the same as the one in my 911? If so, it would not need the gears flipped. Any help with this dream would be appreciated.

I have a TIP in my 993 and looked into converting it back to a manual. It's huge bucks since the tip is tied into everything.
There was a guy in San Diego that converted a 914 to an auto using an Audi trans. It is doable, however I agree with the other posts. A four speed in a 914 would suck unless you have some massive six behind it. |

In my 3.6 manual, I only use gears 2-5. Isn't the tiptronic in the 1990 C2 the same as the Audi? Can the gear be flipped? |
