I am looking around, what other mid engine trannies are out there???
Toyota MR2 , probably easy to get at a junk yard NSX Not so easy to get Ferrari , unobtanium Boxter 914 What else? I know the MR2 and the NSX are both trying paddle shifting autos... Just want to find a better solution. Could a jag tranny or even a 928 tranny fit reasonably well? How about Heiland (sp) I am not sure if that is even the name, but I have seen them on small openwheel racers... rich |

Pantera - $$$
I think the MR2 is a transverse mount, so it wouldn't work ... same with the ferrari...at least on the 308 that I helped work on once - pain in the ass! How about the new elise trans, its a toyota trans modified for the elise, we need to get Quarl to tear his car apart right after he gets it and see what they did to modify the tranny, then we can adapt it for our cars (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/tongue.gif) A quick shifting toyota tranny in our cars would ROCK! From what I have heard, one of the Audi boxes seem to be the best bet for a cheapish trans swap (possible auto swap also), but noboday has done the development yet, probably due to the fact that its cheaper to do what has been done than to try something new. |
