I have a couple questions about the porsche transmission. I noticed many gt40 setups use the porsche transmission, my question is, is there a certain year porsche you have to stick to?
Could you use an older porsche transmission?
Are there adapter plates for older porsche transmissions?
If not, Do any of the older porsche transmissions have the same bell housing bolt pattern, therefore allowing the currently available adapter plates work. OR are the bell housings interchangeable between the old and new porsche gear boxes, therefore allowing the currently available adapter plates to be used?
Do all the porsche transmissions use that rod to shift, that ends up sticking out the back when oriented for a gt40?
Can you buy the shift assembly seperately that allows shifting of this rear rod type setup? If not, does anyone have detailed drawings or pictures to aid in making one from scratch?
and lastly, can anyone explain the way a porsche transmission shifts? I see the rod, but that rod couldnt possibly complete the task of selecting each and all of the gears could it? (unless maybe it turns radially and moves in and out or something), i would imagine that rod does forward and backward motion while some other shifter lever toggles between shift rails.
also, i searched for "porsche transmission" in all forums and didnt find what i was looking for before I made this post. I apologise if I asked questions that have been answered before.
thanks in advance
