Porsche tranny question

[shaolin.138]

Hey guys,

So far everyone (especially Ricola) has been really helpful, and I hope you can continue here.

Why, since they share the same suspension (correct?), can't you use a 944 tranny in a beetle? More specifically, I am experimenting with using an auto tranny, to be different for one, and to help in traffic as well. Could the 944 or 968 (tiptronic) be used with some chassis modification. I am going to rear coilovers, so the torsion tube can die for all I care.

Thanks a lot guys... you rule.
