1968 bug that needs a 5 speed.

Well, my friend works at a porsche repair shop and will give me one out of a wreck car he has in back. So, right now just need to know what I can do to make it work.

You need to spend some time in this forum reading the past topics. The conversion to a 901 5 speed has been covered in depth.

"Extensive fabrication" is not required, you DO need to convert to IRS but that is possible too and acually more work than the 5 speed.

Compared to installing a swing axle Berg 5, installing a 901 5 speed requires "extensive fabrication".

Got some good news, my friend just located at 69 irs pan that is in really great shape, no body. So it looks like someone is watching out for me. Don't know when I will start, due to work and injury. But when I do, I invite you people up when I do this. I will keep you updated and let you know when it will be started.

It will be a much smoother project with an IRS pan and if you get a good 901 from your friend. Remember that the 901 like Swepco gearbox oil.

Make sure the pan has a title and that you get it...definitely look into state law concerning body swaps.
