What Makes the '89 930 Turbo Distinct?

[jaldeguer]

Aside from the G50 gearbox, What makes the 1989 Turbo distinct from the rest of the other (impact bumper) previous years?

Thanks,

Jay

5 forward gears!
(I think that's mostly it)

[nkotselas]

oh and probably quite a bit higher resale value. I think you had most of it, but others will soon chime in on the small details.

There's a hydraulic clutch that goes along with the 5-speed, too.

Previous years were 4-speed, cable clutch.

thats pretty much it the 5 speed, but many people have spent over 10k to swap the 4 speed to a 5 speed. So it ads a lot of value

[j930]

having an 84 euro 930 with a 4 speed, i cant imagine ever even using the 5 speed. i am usually doing around 75 in 3rd. 4th seems to be a gear for maybe 90+ must be crazy fast

I think the gear ratios are spaced a bit closer, thus less rpm drop between shifts and less lag.

So I guess it basically just the transmission? Thanks for the inputs.

yep, mostly the trans.

Any year 930 is a spectacular year to own.
