Re: Porsche transmission oil coolers

LOL, and I can since I have been there and done that. Here is my G50 mounted to the SBF. I have overlain an X, Y and Z axis to give us a frame of reference. So this is in the inverted position and has 5 speeds forward and 1 speed in reverse. Now lets take it back to its "normal" Porsche position. First lets flip it 180º about the X axis. It still in mid engine position, but we have just made it run with 5 speeds in reverse and 1 speed foward, right? Do the twirly finger thing :-). Now if we flip it 180º about the Y axis, it is sitting in the normal Porsch position and again has 5 spds forward and 1 in reverse. Now if we had left it in the second position,it would have been upright with respect to the way it runs in a Porsche, with the input shaft above the half shafts, BUT to make it have 5 speeds the right way, we could flip the ring gear in the diff to accomplish in another way than flipping the whole box.

Does this help?
