The Boxster "S" 6 speed trans, that is used with the LS3 engine. Are all of the transaxles geared differently, or all the same?
Is anyone else running the Boxster "S" 6 speed, with an LS engine? |

Ok. I called Kennedy Engineering today for you...I do not have good news. According to them, the base Boxster 5-speed adapter plate will not work with the Boxster S 6-speed. It does not matter whether or not you drilled the mounting holes.
The "kit" they sell includes everything needed to mate the 6-speed an LS engine. It costs about $2,800 + shipping. Good luck! Tony |

Tony Thanks Tony! I am still waiting for a reply back from kitcarchassis.com, if the starter I now have, will work on the 6 speed, and my current adapter plate. So far this is what I have heard back: Yes, the 5 and 6 speed use the same holes. The early 6 speed uses a couple of less holes than the 5 speed and later 6 speed but they are located in the same places. You just need the correct clutch for which ever transmission you are using. I will have to check part numbers but I think you will need a full clutch kit. |
