I'm here. The tranny out of the 924S does not not have the drive for the speedo for the late car. I have not done this, but I have been told that you can put the pick-up, and the pulse unit on a 924S tranny for a late car. The tranny in the 924S is the same tranny as in the 88 944 and the ROW cars, so I'm sure that this can probley be done. George, what you say you???
The engines in the auto cars and the 5 -speed cars are the same. Like you were told before, you will have to swap out the flywheel though. The auto to 5-speed conversion is not that bad. Don't worry about the auto car not having the lip for the inner boot. IF.... you make sure that you put the big insulation piece in, you will not have any air or heat coming up. I usually put the inner boot on, just pull it down over the shifter more. The conversion is pretty much a bolt in operation. The only cutting you will have to do is the brackets from the automatic car that hold the auto shifter in. The shifter rod for the 5-speed will not have enough room to move. As far as the out boot, make sure you get the trim piece from the 5-speed car. One good thing about using the tranny out of the 924S is the 5th gear. It pulls so much stronger, but your mileage will go down some. At 80, you will be cruisng at around 3300 rpm instead of the 3k.
Anymore question let me know. I plan on sitting down soon and doing a compete write-up on doing the automatic to 5-speed conversion.
