Sorry to rehash old threads again, but we're about to embark on this project soon, I hope. We're looking at possibly either a, turbo'd 2.0 Type 4, Subaru or SBC v8 and an automatic transmission(for the veterans). My question, what transmission would work. I've read that Auto(fwd or 5000 model) will work. Passat trannys are the same as Boxsters, and Subaru fwd trannys.
Any suggestions or recommendations? We hope to do this over the winter. We'd appreciate any suggestions to help us finally get this done. Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

For an auto trans you want to keep it in the same family. Most logical is the VW/Audi 1.8t, or the 2.0t with the PDK. The v6 is huge and I don't think it would fit without a hammer.
I don't know if the couplers also work for the Subaru autos, but the old 2wd autos were attached to 100hp motors. |
