I couldn't find a Gates hose supplier open today so my V8 project got stalled. I really need to get this car running before Neo914 arrives from WA.

I went ahead and dug out the Boxster tranny buried behind the 914 V8 and got my new jack installed in my engine lift to get the Audi block on a dolly. This enabled me to test mate them for the first time. I knew the patterns were close but I found the alignment pins matched perfectly and most of the other holes as well. The starter pocket matched too. This means no adapter, no modifying the bellhousing, or finding an alternative tranny. The Audi pins had a shoulder but the diameter matched so all I need to do is buy the pins from the Porsche parts dealer and buy the bolts from the Audi parts dealer (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

The Boxster tranny is not that great. The way I understand it the early trannies were not dealer servicable. The dealer threw the bad one away and got a new one. Here are the torque ratings on the Boxster tranny.
