As most of us know, between 1964-1971 911s had a dogleg transmission (reverse is left+up, 1st is left+down). Is it possible to swap all the gears around to make it standard?



There are plenty of gearbox diagrams with all of the gears like this one. I tried to convert it to what I believe a dogleg would look like (so the original could be a possible rearrangement).

From this


To this (original image of standard gearbox)


My interpretation of the image is that each purple cog is a line on the pattern, so the dogleg has R-1, 2-3, 4-5 and the original has 1-2, 3-4, 5-R, just like the gear stick.

EDIT: Upon submitting this thread I realise that the cases would be shaped to fit the cogs in their original order, clearly R could move to 5's spot, ect, but once you started moving big cogs into little cog spaces, even 1 to R, you'd have space issues. I guess this is the point people take out the box altogether and just use a G50...

EDIT 2: Unless you kept the box the same but added a 2nd R gear to the back where 5 is, and then re-linked all of the selectors, or maybe that's insanity.
