G50/03 conversion in a 79 930

[DonE]

What needs to be done to fit this transmission into a 79 930? I know the bell housing needs to be shortened, but what about the front mount? I do not want to cut the car or mess with the torsion bar assembly.

I already have the plumbing, pedal kit, slave/master cylinders, etc.

Will this tranny fit this car?

Thanks

Hi Don,

I think that is a G50 from a 87-89 Carrera, correct? If so it should fit no problem. You will need to dissasemble the tranny completely. Mach the belhousing and input shaft. You will have to mod the shifter coupler also.

When I did my conversion I used my old 915 front mount and redrilled hole for the tranny.

The G50.03 was used in the model 964 from MY90 onward, the G50.01 and G50.02 were used between 1987-1989. I'm looking for a G50.03 bellhousing if you know anyone selling.

Don. Are you doing it now because the 915 is gone? Or for better shifting. I recall a big difference from my G50 to 915(1983 SC).

p.s Is your 915 different internally than SC915?

I'd be surprised if Don was using a 915 with the type of power his engine makes. He's probably looking to replace the four speed 930...

[BReyes]

right. I had a question to ask here. Lets see...

Don. Is 4 sp going. If so what is happening to it. Will you be going with stock g50.

Regards,

Bernard - I've decided to keep my 930 4sp box since the cost of upgrading to the G50 is so expensive.
