no, the 964 awd manual trans is unique to that model and consists of concentric main shafts for front and rear output drive.

later G64s from 993 on have a single main shaft that provides the front and rear output. In this later design the front output can be disconnected and covered to provide rwd only.

Thanks for the info Bill.

Interesting is that pet shows same part # for G50/03 & G64/01 R&P ???

Thanks

the r&p has nothing to do w/ it. The output shafts of a 964 G64 consist of concentric shafts connected by a computer controlled hydraulic clutch pack. The pinion for rear drive runs inside the hollow shaft #2 and the ends of both shafts are splined to the hydraulic clutch pack

here's a pic,#1 the rear pinion, #2 is the hollow shaft, on the right end of each are are the splines to the clutch pack, #8 is the input shaft gear cluster which runs parallel to the output shafts

You can convert a G64 for 2 wheel drive. You just have to weld up the gears in the center differential. The nice thing about the G64 is that you can rig the LSD to be variable 0-100% and adjustable from the cockpit. A local guy here uses this in his track car.

The problem is that the gearbox is very long so you need to remove the torsion tube and make a bulge in the rear seat.
But I think there must be a way to remove the center diff housing from the gearbox and shorten the gearbox to a normal G50 length.

yeah, you could do that

to remove the center diff you'd then need to weld the 2 concentric shafts together, yeah, you could do that too

if you want 2wd it's soooo much easier to remove all the awd stuff and swap in a g50, 5 or 6sped will work fine

Another nice thing about the G64 is that you can find one for 1/4 of the cost of a G50.... since there is little or no demand for them.

Welding the gears can be done and do work.

Do you suppose that there might be a reason that there is no demand for them?
