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 |

So, Audi/VW tranny is what I am looking for.
I want a tranny that is plentiful to get at junk yards, has some aftermarket support, and can realistically handle 450 hp. It seems that once I get over 300 hp, i get into a G50 tranny that will cost a fortune to rebuild. I want a tranny that I can buy several and keep spares around with different gear ratios.. Right now I have like 7 901 trannies, but I may just sell them and get several trannies that can.. A) relialby handle the power (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif) Be able to handle long drawn out burn outs c) handle drag racing type acceleration d) possibly an automatic if I need that type of shifting. A is the most important with B and C being a subset of A This is not a dream, this is what I want to put in any car...to put all the money into a great motor only to have to baby the tranny seems like a waste of time. The 928 puts out 300+ in stock trim...and it wont stay stock...I have seen 600HP versions out there. I am ready to go down the 928 route with my car, but all the effort to build this and baby the tranny is just stupid IMHO...I know it can handle 300HP, but can it handle me with 300HP, I doubt it.
