These days I'm driving Mike's 1970 teener since I broke my 73. With no radio I get to listen to the sweet sound of the 1.7L behind me and I get lots of time to think (probably a dangerous thing!).(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)
So I got to thinking about transmissions and I remember someone commenting that there was a cable-shifter available from Patrick Motorsports, but that even though it is better than a stock side-shifter it still isn't as smooth as modern transmissions that were made to be cable-shifted. It being that Kennedy seems to make adapters to fit anything, is there a cable shifted transmission out there that would be a natural fit for a 914? (Of course you probably have to flip the ring gear.) Subarus come to mind as a possibility just because they have flat-4 engines, but I have no idea about anything else about the cars. |

QUOTE(Brad Roberts @ Feb 5 2004, 03:19 AM) There is a UK company that uses the 944 tranny's in a replica GT40 with a V8 in front of it. I think the 944 box would work fine.. I know it is a Audi box also. B What I actually meant... would the tranny/engine combo (minus the torque tube) fit in a 914 That would be a cool conversion, with lots of relatively cheap power possibilties (stock 2.5, 3.0 16V, 968 or even 951) cheers, Jeroen |
