Re: what 5 speed to use in rear engine car? Audi 016 upside down ?

thanks for the ideas ,
it basically set-up like a VW or 911 , rear motor with a gearbox in front of it , and the gearbox can use CVs or U-joints

5 speed is needed, limited slip would be nice

Porsche 901 boxes have a hard to shift "shift pattern" with reverse and first to the left
Porsche 915 boxes are big and heavy
Both use very expensive parts and are 25 plus years old....

So its just trying to think out of the box a bit , find some "unloved" and cheap gearbox,

that was the idea of the upside down Audi box , but the Suburu box also sounds interesting....

Any more ideas ?

thanks Beaulieu
