Re: [T3] 5 speed transaxle


if you look at the ratios on the porsche 5speeds the
final drive and the top gear are about the same as a
VW.  i think the 915 box has a .82 5th gear and a 3.88
R&P.   i think the type3 box has a .89 4th gear and
either a 3.88 or 4.12 R&P depending on model year.

the benefit of the 5speed is that you have an extra
gear between 3rd and 4th to close up that gap and from
what ive herd its a major help even in just normal
driving since it helps prevent bogging at less than
highway speeds(40-50MPH i.e. a little high for 3rd and
4th still bogs a little).  

the berg 5speed conversion is pretty much the same
effect.   though ive herd that its an absolute
nightmare to do(this is from a mechanic thats done
one)
