My sporta matic trans for the DRAGON

I have been looking for some thing different to get the drive out of my budget Bug build up . This a early 911 sporta matic trans axel ( semi auto ) The gear box is manual shift , you dont have a foot clutch as you move the shifter the valve in the gear box triggers the vacuum actuator to pull the clutch in .By the you have shifted into the next gear What I am doing : I am in the throws of reading about the internals of the gear box & the ratios .Finding Infomation regarding this is not that easy to date .I will work the ratios out when I pull the gear box down . The fluid for the gear box is the same for the motor ( shares the oil pressure ) via a port on the side of the trans . The gear box has a dry clutch as well , then a wet converter . My idea tis to make the gear box a full manual , buy modifing the internals & fitting a LSD diff from a WRX R160 rear diff . Here is the gear box on a early motor

we all knew you'd never actually finish any of your projects :P

So what's the story Neil? What's going on?

Settle....

He's done the 180SX (GTR Brakes n rearend, turbo donk with all the good gear, etc....) and nearly finished the Impreza street/trackcar (with all the good gear too!), but the bug had to go as family commitments must take precedence....

Im sure you can understand that....

FUCH your early!
