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? |

Generally the same, slight difference in CV flanges, shifter mechanisms maybe? One true difference if you can find one is get the one out of a TDI, taller gears, diesels make torques, and do not like to spin fast, thus taller gearing.
Sad news they are darn near unattainable in the states, VW never imported a 6 speed TDI Passat for public consumption. You need to find people over in the UK that will be willing to send one over. TDIclub has a couple importers in the vendor section that will do that. Canada might also be a shot. |

Depends, I am installing an Audi 01E 6 speed mainly because I have a gen 1 SBC and and I wanted the taller gearing to match my RPM limits better. I think in the scheme of things it will be a worthwhile investment once complete. I would hav went with the Boxster otherwise for price. |
