Porsche Gearboxes
ok so im looking porsche gearboxes, possibly for a V8 but if not for a standard Kombi engine, do they need a conversion plate ?, and which are the
ones that fit ?
Thanks, Nick

Do you realise that you need to cut the centre area out of your rear torsion housing to fit one of these babies , not to mention the price , If your
planning on mabey just keeping the type 4 engine why not just upgrade the kombi box stock gears to a full set of Albins gears .

as per above lots of expense
1st buying the egarbox
2nd doing the conversion n body work
3rd buying the adaptor plate
What are you hopeing to gain from the conversion if its just fora streeter then stick with some albins gears

how OLD is the 911
you really ned to TEST drive the gearbox B$ buying it so as to see if it dont crunch jump of dont work and need an overhaul that will cost
you 10 times the origional cost of the gearbox
yes that 5th gear is nice but sometimes the expense aint worth it
you will have to get the gear shift and floor section as well to weld into yr car FARK lots of work aint easy

and check the ratios first, you might find the fifth gear is good for 160 km/h PLUS! and not much good for 100km/h

Hmmmm..............i would look into that a LOT closer
I think you will find the VW 5 speed first is like an under drive rather than 5th being an overdrive

well,,, Albins do make taller ratio gear kits,,, mine is a .7 : 1 overdriven top gear, so it`s waaaay tall & suits my alloy V8 quite well,,,, it`s
happy to just trundle along the hyway at low revs , conserving fuel & keeping noise down to a minimum,,, altho i obviously have the grunt to pull
it,,, most stock 2L kombi engines wouldn`t be able to pull that sort of ratio, especially with the 31.5" rear tyres i have.
Talk with Albins before you do anything i suggest because they do gears for both VW & Porsche boxes, so they will be able to help you with ratios
to suit whichever box you choose

he is a little cutie isn`t he ? :-)
he used to suck people in to pat him... wagging his tail & lookin real cute & cuddly,,, then when they walked over to the car he`d just go off
in a big way & scare the crap out of you :-),,, no one ever even came close to stealing "Anything" from me :-)
poor old fella made it to 15 years old & thyen developed some super rare bone cancer in his right shoulder & we had to put him down,,, the vet
said he was dead & then he kicked back to life when i cuddled him,,, had to give the poor bugga another shot,,, tough as nails he was... he (quite
commonly) jumped through the window from a 2 story house to run across wynnum rd at Galloways hill/norman Pk,,, run up to a house with a great dane,,,
stand on the 2nd step of the front stairs & plug the dane,,, the owner actually liked him & kept him there till i was home from work so he
wouldn`t get run over by a car trying to get home or anything,,, then, after a few days of him getting his rocks off he decided he owned the place, so
he p!$$ed on her mega dollar lounge suit,,, wouldn`t let her in her own front door & i got the nasteyest call i`ve ever got, telling me to come
get this delinquent mongrel F#$@en dog & don`t let him come back here ever again etc etc etc :-) very much like his owner hey??? :-)
Best dog i ever had :-(

Farrrrrrr to much work to fit a porsche box in a kombi for any thing under 350rwph!
A 2L box with Albins diff and 1234 gears could be a little expensive but, you will have all NEW gears and way less work than cutting up your bus.
Just a few pics of mine.

But i couldn't go past the sheer size 2L kombi to 993 porsche.
Speak to Dave buttler for a 091 rebuild, he will need to know your future plans to get your ratios right the first time.

Just one of the lucky ones that didn't find it's way behind the 20B
Unlike this pinion that I munched in mid 2nd gear!
How's the bus coming along? The one that you were thinking of making 4WD.

Yeah i have a few pinions like that one :-)
The 4x4 idea hasn`t been shelved,,, just parked for a while,,, i got a Syncro front diff & Austin Kimberly front drive wheel assys,,, just need to
get the 091 box modded for a front output shaft & i`ll start playing :-)
Is your beast back together & running again ,,, where & when`s the next drag meet for you?

Sounds good, I thought the same but using audi front end. Shouldn't be to hard to make a sleave for the pinion shaft to mount an other out put. let
me know when your starting the box mods, would like to have a look at your setup.
My box is still apart, but have all the parts to fix.On the 25 July will be putting the bus on the dyno for 'dyno mania' at leon's motors, then up
to willowbank for a run.
After that it will be Warwick 3-4 Oct, can't wait!!!
