Porsche 915 or G50 in Bugs ?

[DORIGTT]

So what you're saying is that it is easier to create shift linkage and install it?

easier to just fit the Porsche shifter. Steve C has a picture of his on his web pagehttp://www.clubvw.org.au/steve_carter.htm

Hi

Having said that the G50 is a better tranny, I should also add that its a lot bigger than a 915 box and is harder to fit.

very cool stuff guys!

do you guys think a g50 box would be able to fit in a notch with an EJ20t or tt?

[Steve C]

Hi

The G50 is longer so unless you cut into the torsion bars the motor may sit to far back. I moved mine 100 mm forward, the nose of the G50 nearly touches the chassis number.

Hey Trevor, which kit is the one you used for the rear arms front pivots?

Thanx

Chris, if you mean the bushes for the rear trailing arms, then it's the normal aftermarket urethane bushes kit for an IRS bug. The bushes fit the Porsche arms and allow the use of the large diameter bolt from the bug. I suppose you could fit stock replacement VW rubber bushes, but there's no harm in upgrading to the urethane bushes...
