From what I understood the 5 speed Boxster trans, the axles were two different lengths. At the start he said the axles fit, I thought something didn't seem right, but now that we finally got to doing the wheel alignment, I was correct in that the passenger side is too short. He said about 1/2".
Does anyone know what the correct length of axle would be on the passenger side using the 5 speed Boxster trans, and if so, where I can acquire one at? |

I have a boxster 5 speed in one of my cars and as far as i recall the reason for the different lengths was because of an offset in the trans and has nothing to do with the type of engine. my rear suspension is not 914 so i have no idea if the boxster axels and trans would work with the 914 suspension or as others have mentioned you might need custom axels or spacers.
Good luck. |

Good luck. Correct. When I mounted my setup I equally spaced the trans so the axles would be the same length, this allowed me to run off the shelf axles. Location of the axles placed the whole engine setup for me. I did so to avoid the issues Bellis ran into with the popping out of the axles. |
