The awesome thing about this is the options.. My dad has zero intentions of racing the car just driving it.. Should be fun

Take good notes and lots of picture no matter which way you go.

I would love to see an Audi trans mounted up.

Could you imagine a 914 with a 2.7T V6 and a six speed?

So as the story unfolds looks like it maybe a 411 autostick.. That could cause for a challenge in itself but I know there are allot of options as I could still do a sporto conversion as I know several with those parts.

Type 4, 411 automatic is the same as in the T3....it's not an autostick, it's a fully automatic 3 speed made by Borg-Warner.
It will work as long as you can flip the diff.

go for it, the sporto parts aren't that hard to find. call Jim at EASY, he has sporto parts.
i'll look around i may have some left i will give you.

i had a special order 78 SC with a sporto from the factory, the car was super fast off the line.

send me a PM if you go for it and i will send what i have.

After searching a bit more I think I am going to first pursue the automatic clutch setup.. There are some positive reviews on the web but finding the setup is bit harder.. If that can't be done reasonably then back to sportomatic conversion..

The nice thing is the 914 he will be getting is a 73 2.0 and with the auto clutch no mods to the car would be required that aren't reversed.

Sportomatic or sporty Bernie? Have a trusted local World member or friend help you with that stuff if you don't know the market. Some trans stuff is a lot more valuable than it used to be. (Some not so much biggrin.gif .)

Ok so a little update..

My dad's car was picked up today and is being delivered. Its a 74 2.0.. Not much rust but some I will have to fix.. It has been bare metals and primed but needs to be cleaned up.. It cost zero dollars to buy so the price was right..

Once it's running I will work with him on some sort of clutch actuator..Click to view attachment Click to view attachment
