| Re: Transaxle strength
Kennedy Engineered Product agrees with Mark and so do I. That said, I think you can get a transaxle from RBT that is, in essence, a ZF and that has been modified to be at least equal with the G50. One might also then sub-catagorize the Porsche boxes like this G50/50 -> G50/xx.
The reason I say "might" is that G50/50 boxes are becoming so hard to find that they are close to being virtually removed from consideration. I found one after a couple of years of looking and then only when someone here noticed one for sale and posted it for the rest of us to see.
At the end of the day, pick the one you like and can afford and go for it. There are guys, especially in England, who are running gearboxes considered much weaker than the three you mention, and have been for years. All of them (the trannies, not the guys ;-) have their own peculiarities and issues that have to be dealt with, but once you have made a decision, the issues suddenly become relatively easy to deal with. Being honest with yourself about yourself and your capabilities, true needs, and reasons for wanting one or the other, and then finally deciding is the hardest part. (On second thought, maybe the guys do to LOL! I include my self in that as well:-)
