Hey y'all, i know someone here is using the 5 speed boxster tranny on their 914. Which axles did you use and what will I run into. Lengths?
As I said it is a 5 speed from a 2003. NOT a 6 spd S. TIA LC |

What engine and are you making your own cradle?
Mike Bellis is also using this trans and the 6 speed. I made my own engine cradle to put the trans in the very center (For my 1.8T conversion) 100mm stub axles from a boxster or a late AWD audi. VW Bus axles 18 3/4" long (clip to clip) 914 outer stub and 100mm adapters from renegade hybrids. The axles still have 1-1.5in of play in them so there wont be any binding. Mind you I had to move the trans mount over on the body to fit my custom shifter setup. All details and pics in my build thread. |

Mating the tranny to a SBC. I already have an adapter plate for a Boxster S from Kennedy. I will have to modify the starter pocket on the non S Boxster tranny a little to make it work. It's going in my Tubeframe car, so we'll just fab a cradle as necessary. Thanks Again |

I run one 19.25" and one 20.25". The differential is offset to one side. Best prices are at Pacific Customs. If you call them, they will sell single axles for about $110 each. I'm also running 930 CV's and 28 spline axles. Renegade axles are Bus T2 units with 33 splines.
