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 |

Rich,
You need to decide on your engine first. KEP tells me they don't have adapters for the boxster so unless you want to use the Boxster engine you will be on your own to design fabricate an adapter. This engine BTW does not clear the rear susp arms. I am using an Audi engine which will mate to the boxster transaxle. An inexpensive alternative to the boxster is the inline Audi tranny. It bolts up a 911 CV and axle. There is still some fabrication to relocate the cable shifter to the front of the engine. A very few of the other trannys you mention may be possible but will require some measuring to confirm fit and involve costly fabrication. If you have lot's of $, are very motivated, and have the resources, go for it. |
