Manual Gear box (MBZ)?
We all know that the auto box is MBZ sourced but is the 5 speed as well? The MBZ is a dog leg box and just wondering if Porsche used the same supplier. It would make sense if they had.

mKay... so, who gets the credit for the pre-‘85 synchros?

^^Porsche made the box entirely in house pre 85, syncros and all were their design. In 85 they went with a Borg Warner box built to their specs with Borg Warner designed syncros and gears.

Not sure about that one, either. The 85+ syncros were Borg-Warner, so I doubt that Getrag was assembling those either.
