968 trans in a 944
Can you put a 6 speed 968 trans in an 88 944 without any major alterations?

This is one of those questions you should use the search button for.
I beleive it is a direct swap except for needing a different halfshaft and the speedo sensor is different.

Sheet metal surgery in the spare tire well is required. The 968 tranny is longer. Somebody here put a whole 968 engine/drivetrain into a 924S. As I recall, he said his car was now a little faster!!
What I'd really like to know, is how feasable is a 928 to 924S manual tranny swap?

I appreciate the second 'constructive' portion of your reply, obviously in the time I've been using Pelican, I know how and when to "search".

great site? not sight? 968 tranny is awesome in a 944, adds another overdrive gear basicly allowing you to get to top speed alittle bit faster

A 968 engine coupled to an "S" transmission with its low gearing makes for quite a shockingly fast off-the-line car. Especially for a 944. Not an easy conversion though. There's a guy on this board with one - I've driven it. Very nice setup.
968 stuff is pretty hard to come by though.

968 drive in a 924S?
I'm off to find that thread. Why can't 968s be as easily availible as 944s? Well I know the answer to that.... but still don't we all want one?

That's me with the 924S and 968 Drive. You can se my current tails for my love hate relation with "Rod Bearings Ka-putt"
PM if you don't find the Tranny post. 928's Engine won't fit it the 924S. Tranny's a thought but got no idea on those.
