Does it have the "Do It Yourself" manual transmission, or the superior "Fully Equipped by Porsche" Automatic Transmission?

Before the electric release, how was the hatch opened? Cable pull?
Although I have no problems with mine, I've wondered why Porsche employed the electric release. Seems many people have had difficulties with it. I guess I should just be happy they didn't use an electric release for the hood!

the key to my 83 doesnt open the hatch, I'm assuming its the wrong key. It goes in but doesn't turn. I cant find any switches or levers to get the hatch open. Jumping the battery is quite a pain with the hatch closed

You may have the right key but the mech has been jammed from lack of use.
You might try pushing down on the hatch and see if that will allow you to turn the key.

You wouldn't happen to have a parts list with discriptions of the items you used to do the job to yours?
Please share?

I've got no clue about part numbers, but just bought the dock and motor on ebay in germany - think I payed like $200. The only hazzard was enlarging the left side of the hole for the dock. Took power from wipermotor, and a friend of mine found a relay, that had perfect timing.... All ready had the switch from my interior upgrade...
