the car I'm leading here is a Club Sport. This was about 15 years ago, I don't know how Rich got it into the country at that point. He raced it in PCA Racing for years then sold it

That’s a good question. I actually ran across that guy on Rennlist. I’ll ask him that question. Maybe could be imported but not registered for road use?

Love It! Beautiful Club Sport and Welcome to transaxle world!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) It is a great looking, and I bet, driving car. Aren’t 914 transmissions transaxles? Is the distinction that transmission and axle are combined in the rear away from the motor. I will have to start learning more. Great buy!

Transaxle world is all new to me too but as far as I understand; yes transaxle replaces the transmission up near the engine and places it at the rear wheels. And no, the 914 is not a transaxle. Traditional transmission.

Those 968's are pretty nice little cars. You will be happy with this.

The 914 (as well as every production mid/rear engine Porsche/VW I can think of) is a transaxle car. It's a more uncommon and convoluted setup in a front engine RWD vehicle like the 944, which is why it's a feature often remarked upon, but fairly standard in FWD and rear engine cars.

Oh, yeah....the ultimate progression of the 944. This one looks fantastic as it's not all splashed up with the CS graphics that are so common with those. What a great get.


And to think that that 924/944 was the replacement (at least in the line-up) for the 914.

I may not fit in the new group since mine is a 944 S2.
I've never been a fan of the 968 styling. I like the 944 Turbo/944 S2 styling much better.

Transaxle world is all new to me too but as far as I understand; yes transaxle replaces the transmission up near the engine and places it at the rear wheels. And no, the 914 is not a transaxle. Traditional transmission.

Traditional transmission arrangement is a 'box' with an input shaft and an output shaft, with gear clusters inside the 'box'. The output shaft connects to a longer driveshaft which connects to a differential and drive axles.

914 is a transaxle (combination of transmission and differential/drive axle), just like virtually every VW that has ever been built and pretty much every Porsche.
The most common design is the transaxle is mated up right to the engine, so front engine/front wheel drive or rear(mid) engine/rear wheel drive. The 924/944 is a bit unique in that the engine is up front and the transaxle in the rear, connected by a drivetube/driveshaft. It is still considered a transaxle design.

Most new cars are front engine/transaxle designs, although the AWD models also employ a driveshaft and rear differential/axle.
