Hey everyone,
I haven't been on here for ages - since I had to get rid of my 914 due to financial problems back during the dark days. However, things have moved on and I'm now able to think about getting another one. the problem is that during these last few years I have suffered left knee issues and have real problems if I have to push a clutch pedal up and down repeatedly. So I now tend to drive only Auto trans cars. Whilst it may seem to many to be sacrilege (I have medical reasons so please don't abuse me too much!), I have a question for kind people on here. Are any of you aware if an auto trans swap has been done into a 914? I was thinking a VW type 4 box would bolt right up - but as they were rear engined and not mid it would be spinning the wrong way. Or what about a Boxster box? This might never happen but I'm just wondering if it's been done before - or even possible! I did try and search but couldn't find anything relevant. Thanks in advance! |

I know that Audi transmission car. Mark (computers4kids) had bought it. I know he sold since then but car ran great. Obviously it was a bit slower but not ridiculously so. I can't remember how it was mated to the motor though. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...=101948&hl=
If doing this type of conversion I would sure consider an all subaru drivetrain. Get more power with your motor & have them matched to each other already. So no adapter plated from drivetrain. Just have to build a cradle for them. |
