transmission swap

I've got a question does the transmission from a carrera fits on a 911sc from 1980 they seem to be smoother? btw. the rebuild of my engine is done and she started from the first time very well, thanks to all of you and especialy for Warren the great one. My regards Rafael

The early 84 to 87 Carrera uses the same 915 tanny as the SC. The 88 -89 used the g50 tranny. The G50 is supposed to be smoother and since it does not use a cable clutch the clutch does not need adjusting. It is a difficult swap and expensive. You would need to use a special short bell housing version called a G50/50. I suggest you see the patrick motorsports website for info and pricing http://www.patrickmotorsports.com/main.html

I've also heard that it's possible to fit a G50 without the expensive replacement bell housing -- by cutting out the torsion tubes altogether and switching to a coil-over suspension. If you're turning your 911 into a track-purpose car, this might make it worthwhile.

Rafael,

I have to question whether a G50 is worth a $5-6,000 conversion cost ... they do seem to have their own, new set of problems, and a 915 could be rebuilt to custom specs for a lot less than that, from Andial!
