That's a Suby AWD trans converted to RWD with 2 parts <!-- emo&:beer2: -->(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif)<!-- endemo -->

Convertor sleeve: AUD$120.00
Blanking plate: AUD$110.00
If bought together, total price AUD$210.00

Looks like a side shift linkage could be tweaked to work.

I just bought a 2005 (EJ25) engine and trans (2000 miles) for the 914 - let the fun begin.

I just sent an e-mail to sakercars to check on parts availability.

QUOTE (slivel @ Jan 3 2006, 09:39 AM) Does anyone know if the output shafts of the Suby trans are in the same vertical and horizontal planes as the Porsche trans?   The outputs are slightly different. I know that the Suby outputs are closer to the bellhousing flange (I think by about 1-1/2") and I "think" they are a little bit higher up on the case. I will try to measure things this evening.

Some measuring with a tape measure (and some help from here) shows that the Subaru trans outputs are 1-1/2" closer to the engine and 7/8" higher on the trans case.
I think the KEP plate is 5/8 or 3/4" thick - if the all Suby combination is mounted so the CV's are in the stock location the engine will end up at least 2" rearward and 7/8" higher (or the car can be 7/8" lower with the same CV angle and less ground clearance.) The Suby AWD trans is 2" longer than a 901 so if it is mounted 1-1/2" forward there will be about the same amount of room behind the trans for a muffler.
