I did a couple, sorta successful, mods and they've done some magic  (this by the way is not the transmission from my car, but a friends who I've bought, I'd swap transaxels if I did any major improvements/changes, since I hadn't done any work I kinda made it a 'instead of buying this I'm going to borrow it off of this' parts car) |
I guess transaxles are fairly easy to obtain over there, eBay, Rennlist, this forum, lots of Porsche specialist breaker yards. I have one from an S but it is here in the UK...

If you have your heart set on fixing/modifying this damaged one, be prepared for a hit on the wallet, but certainly go ahead if that is what you really want to do. As far as custom gear sets are concerned there are some very experienced forum members who do work on these boxes, if they get involved in this thread I would take notice of their advice as they have been there - done that!
