In light of the fact that it is possible to use either transmission in a 914, it poses a couple questions.
Which transmission is stronger, 915 or boxster 5 speed? Which has the best support for repair? Which has the best selection of aftermarket gears? After going through the expense of doing the Wevo conversion on the 915, would it shift as well as the boxster with cable shifter. Am I correct that the total cost of converting a 915 using the Wevo kit would come to close to $2500 minimum. ($2000 for sideshift kit and another $500 for shifter) This assumes you do the work your self. It seems like the 915 would cost twice the amount (for all hard parts and used transmission) that a boxster would cost. Wes |
