Hi,
I am going to fit a 6 speed G50 trans (inverted) from a 993, with a 3.6L varioram engine. I will have to use a cable shifter (from Patrick Motorsports or CableShift. California Motorsports modifies the trans for a cableshift running from the side but that is excluded for me as I am based in Europe and would have to send the trans to the US to be modified, and back to Europe). My question is if there is enough length for the long nose of the trans . I know I have to cut the trunk for the inverted trans. I have seen at the Renn... forum a car which had the bellhousing and shaft shortened at Patrick Motorsports in 2005 but they did not explain if that was necessary, or if as an alternative, the opposite side could have been shortened. CMS states that shortening the bellhousing is not recommended for G50's later than '89 due to starter compatibility issues. I guess the issue is the elimination of the guide bushing for the starter when the bellhousing is shortened, and that is not an issue for '89 and earlier cars, because High Torque Starters which do not use that bushing are available. For '90 and later cars I have not been able to find those starters. Can someone help with information on the application of the 6 speed trans from a 993 ? I am building a 914-6 GT replica and already started applying the fender flares, and modifying the engine cover with a second grille. |

Thanks for the ideas.
I am new in the Forum and have not yet learned how to add photos, but anyway, I just got a photo of a modified engine lid (for the Varioram) at https://rennlist.com/forums/914-914-6-forum...d-in-914-a.html |
