 Posted: Tue Jun 27, 2006 11:45 am Post subject: Transmission replacement |
 |
|
I'm probably going to have to get a new clutch soon and my gears grind a bit from time to time, so I'm starting ot think about just getting a new transmission for my 87 924S, maybe a 951 tranny with LSD. What I want to know is will a 951 tranny fit and if not, which tranny (other than another 924S of course) would fit? Thanks

yes, the 951 tranny will fit. The only thing is that they have lower gearing than the standard 944 which would be good on the highway but a bit lazy around town.
Any 944 and 931 (Audi not Porsche dog-leg) transaxle will fit.

thanks...I'll see what I can dig up
also, does anybody have any rough guesstimates on how long it would take a shop to rebuild a transmission? Trying to see if I can't come up with a ballpark figure for just rebuilding the tranny in there, maybe with lindsey racing gears

Don't you mean taller gearing?
As for the rebuild, it's pretty labor intensive. It is generally always cheaper to buy a good used trans than rebuild an old one. Unless you have a friend who works for beer

Depends on whether you're looking from the front or the back
