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.

This is the response I got ... and my reply ...
----------------------------------------------- I do quite a bit of this type of machining. I usually convert bus or Vanagon flanges to Porsche 930 and have done 914 to 930 CV's as well. I have never looked at Subaru. What is the configuration of the Subaru flange. Do they bolt on,clip on from the inside or clip on like VW? Is the CV diameter about the same as Vanagon? Todd Francis, Precision Alloy LTD. http://www.precisionalloy.com ------------------------------------------------ Todd, While my daily driver is a 1993 subaru impreza 1.8 auto, and my fun car is a 1972 Porsche 914, I do not yet have my conversion motor and tranny bought yet. I did though just buy a haynes manula for my impreza and the image in there for the stub axle appears to show it as a short splined axle stub that the cv slides onto/over and there is a roll pin that holds it in place. What I do not know yet is if the stock 914 axle/cv is too long to accomodate any custom flange on the tranny side. If it is too long maybe the solution would be to use a vw bus axle/cv combo with custom flanges on both sides. I will put those currently facing these challenges in touch with you so that they can give you better info such as actual dims/etc. Another friend suggested I contact http://www.raxles.com/ - it looks like they make complete custom axles/cv for about $340 but I was hoping to do something less expensive? Thank you, Jim |
