My Porsche mechanic tells me it takes a 50 ton press to disassemble/reassemble these transmissions. Not sure what part requires that much pressure but I would look into it before starting the project.
Check the R&P ratios and the 5th gear ratio. It used to be common to swap the taller 5th into the box with the taller R&P but I don't remember which is which right now. I think the 5N has the taller 5th and the AZZ has the taller R&P. Scott at Advanced Automotion would probably know.
Did you check with Fran Hall at RCR? He makes adapters for the Graziano to some engines. I have the Ford bellhousing dimensions if you need them. PM me.
If you are designing your own the actual thickness doesn't really matter. I make them 3/4 inch thick and make the flywheel to match. You need to find out what the bellhousing to clutch surface distance was on the original installation and make your flywheel to match that. You might need an...
I have been told my someone who knows people at GM that getting that transmission to work out of the original vehicle would be very difficult or impossible. It would at least have to be paired with the original engine and a lot of electronic engineering done to make it work without all the...
The 01X has narrower gears than the 01E so probably not anything that would swap into the Porsche box. You might try California Motorsports and see what they know. I havent see an 0A2 so cant comment on them but the 01E/01X look different externally than the Boxster/Cayman transmissions so I...
The 01X is similar but not identical to the 016. Also has different input shaft and clutch. That transmission was used in the '04-'07 A4 so you can start there for a clutch. I usually use the SA242 from Spec. My adapter is 3/4 inch thick.
