I've been moving some of my sh.....er um parts cars around and scrapping some shi...uh rare race parts (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) lately and got to wondering if anyone has ever taken a 914 tranny flipped the R&P and installed it in a VW?? 5 speed gearbox that could handle a little more power (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) Mounting wouldn't be too much of an issue, fab a cross bar for the front to mount to the VW frame horns and a cradle for the rear to mount to the stock location. Just a crazy idea that I haven't seen done, so I figure there is either a good reason or I just haven't run across one yet........ talk amongst yerselves (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/chatsmiley.gif) Me go beddy bye, to many Killians make ums tired (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/yellowsleep[1].gif)

I think you may need to take a hammer to the transmission tunnel for clearance in a couple of spots. Not much if I recall what I read, but... You'd also really want the 911's nosecone because of the mounting ears on ours getting in the way, and the linkage coming out of the nosecone in the wrong spot. (Or out the side of the trans for a side-shifter, which is really the wrong spot!)
