Porsche 5-speed conversion parts

[Bugat5speed]

Hi altogether,

I´m new here in this forum. Some of you may already know me by having bought some of my conversion parts in the past.
Although my aim is of commercial nature I would like to give you some info here in the forum.
I´ve read a lot of postings about various Porsche gearbox-types and the "problems" with installing them into Super Beetles and similiar cars. I also saw, that some of you had problems with the shifters that can be recommended to use in combination with a Porsche-gearbox.

I´ve been engaged with Porsche gearboxes (for Beetles) now since nearly 15 years. I developped some good parts, that allows to easily install a Porsche 5-speed into a Beetle.
I have conversion parts for 911 (901, 911/01), 914 and 915 gearboxes.
The conversion parts are: short nose cones (20 - 30 mm shorter than original ones); traverses (mounting bars) aluminium casted, heat treated; axle flanges for Beetles axles and for 944 or bus axles (driveshafts); mounting plates for clutch cables; clutch cable connectors to the clutch lever; ....

I also have developped a own 5-speed shifter, that makes the installation into Beetle a very easy thing to do. It has very short shift ways (55 mm) and it has a strong spring barrier, that keeps you from shifting into R-gear. Shifting from the 1st into the 2nd with a 901 or 914 simply means to move the shifter forward. The changing of the level will be done by the spring mechanism. This shifter allows very quick shiftings and there is no more difference to a conventional shift pattern.

I´m personally driving a 1303 with a 2.2 Subaru engine and a 914-gearbox with my shifter. The car and all the parts can be ssen on my site www.bugat5speed.de. If you have questions, then write me an e-mail to: info@bugat5speed.de.

I hope, that there is no problem, that I made this posting here in the forum, but I think a lot of you are interested in "how to install a 5-speed Porsche gearbox into a Beetle". Besides, there was a report about such a conversion (with my parts) in issue March 2005 of ULTRAVW.

Thanks for your interest Martin
