Re: Porsche Transmission Questions

I have actually built a side shifter setup for my 6spd g50. Fairly simple so far but not 100% complete yet. The "nose cone" that people are referring to is the furthest part from the clutch, there are 2 options, the earlier g50 has the desireable nose cone, the later ones have a mount as part of the tail housing that can be cut off. Also, I think 90 or 91 and up need some minor bellhousing machine work to clear the starter that is used for the V8. I have also modified mine to use a standard ford bellhousing and starter and clutch. Not worth the effort for a 5 spd but the 6 spd is longer, I am after every inch I can get.
