what all is needed to swap a 016/9 type into a '78 924.
I'm pretty sure that's waht I have, it looks like a 4 speed but, the end cover is a bit different and it's a little longer. Also, where are the ID numbers on these? The coupler shaft fits on both to.

It is essentially a bolt in.

Yeah, it looks it would be but, would the shift linkage work?

you need the piece on the tranny that the shift rod slides onto, but hey guess what,,,,

all that is in the FAQ Tech section.

fairly easy upgrade, unless you hit some stuck or rusty parts... good too have two people to stick the tranny back in , it can be a little hard to manipulate and get lined up right, but not impossible for one person to do with a decent jack and some patience.
you will loose a bit of low end torque, but you gain it back on the high end. the 5spd feels quite different than the four speed, take a bit of getting used too

make sure your donor tranny is from an n/a 924, turbo and early 944 unit has a larger shaft and wont fit unless you make an adaptor coupler

Lizard, guess what, I did read the FAQ and it didn't say anything about a shift thingy to slide into.
Ther'e more info on the snailshell 5 speed than this one.
