Tend to agree that denting the TT is not a great idea, I was thinking more about clearance bumps and so forth.
If the numbers in the recent posts are correct, then things should fit without moving the engine. Given that there is 2 inches space with the 5 speed, and we gain another 1.25 from the shortened bell housing, and we need 2 1/2...let me see, we'd have about 3/4 inch space between the nose of the 6 speed transmission and the TT....should be enough? I think?
In terms of weight, according to the various documents I have, the 6 speed is actually very similar in weight to the 5 speed. Porsche apparently put it on a diet when the added the 6th speed, thinning the castings in spots to make up for the weight gain. ....so it ought to be fine.
I have emailed Patrick Motorsports about shortening the bell housing, anyone else do this kind of work (at reasonable rates??)
