Boxster transmission adapter plate, Relocated starter Options

[r_towle]

Guys,
In response to another thread about subarus, someone posted a link about a shop in AZ that is making an adapter plate kit to bolt up a boxster transmission to a Subaru motor.

Wondering if he sold a kit, or just did all the work, I reached out to him.

He does in fact sell a kit which requires milling out some of the bell housing, but then you can mount a starter.

Assuming much of the flywheel and clutch would not work, this might be a good place to start for someone who races, wants a more modern transmission, a cable shifter, and would like to remain all Porsche....

Naro...

That was kinda my point.
Subaru to Subaru is simple and well thought out.

Using a boxster transmission with the relocated start....well that was the first time I had seen anyone do more than just talk about the idea.

He went to the length of actually doing it.
Could someone copy him, maybe....but why bother.
He sells a kit....albeit it's just for a Subaru motor...

Taking his kit one more logical step to mate the boxster transmission to an aircooled porsche motor is a big plus and might sell even better.

For us, it may be a real and viable alternative to dumping money into an old 914 transmission that in the end still lacks a lot of the more modern things we expect.

Having a modern tranny solution is really interesting.
