It will work with the 944 drive shaft and transmission. The 924 gearbox allegedly will not take the strain, and the "bell housing" is different. The torque tube (driveshaft assy) is part # 944 421 012 02. Along with this you would require the hardware and clamps that go with it. Auto Atlanta or Oklahoma Foreign can help you, or see if you can get a 944 "donor car" for the running gear. You might be able to pick one up locally for cheap. This would also permit you to upgrade the rear brakes to discs and even the entire front suspension of an early 944 will slip right in a 924. Heck, even the part nos for most of the front suspension parts start with the "477" designation (924 and variants). Parts that start with "944" are obviously unique to that specific line.

You did not say what year your 924 is, and what transmission it has. If it is the five speed, they are very prone to breakage (1979 and 1980). Over the years, many of these have been replaced with 944 gearboxes and drive tubes. Since that is the case, the swapout of drivetrain components should present no problem.

What you plan is not a weekend effort; it will require lots of sweat and lots of ingenuity. Good luck with the project.

BTW..I had an Audi based 924....I thought it was virtually bulletproof.
