Was just reading PCNA marketing material for '92 MY. Few intresting bits of info in it.

Reason why there is '92 MY is that Porsche could call cars '93 MY since they were introduced after January 1st 1992. Haven't notice exact intro date in doc yet but February is mentioned.

Driveline modifications have this as one selling point. 4-speed automatic transmission receives an oil cooler for its differential, as well. As well refers to 5-speed manual cooler. If this is correct Porsche was planning on installing manual gearbox oil cooling system into automatic differential also. Wonder where they planned on putting the cooler as one which is used in manual cars is same what automatic gearbox oil uses?

Probably because no one liked the 5 speed and they were going to stop its availability in favor of the more superior Auto box.

Erkka - Interesting, maybe they would have reused the rad side tanks again. I presume the reason these were dropped from use was the extra cooling load from the engine w/ the 5.4L - so maybe that would have been marginal for cooling...

LOL!

Can't we all get along... the manual cars are still the same species!

Nice try, Roger! Please do tell though why 5spd boxes often sell for as much money as tired early Auto cars in the UK

P.S. Yes, I do have a Stuttgart rebuilt 5 spd GTS box in my parts pile. Yes, it has ZERO miles on it

alex, i was speaking to a guy in germany who asked if my friend wanted the receipt for the can of engine degreaser he had used to clean up the outside of a filthy GTS box...

Are you thinking about using that rebuilt 5 spd GTS box?

I have a 92 GTS automatic. Maybe one day I will try to change it for manual since that was my objective when I bought the car. Just like the one Herkka has.

Cheburator

Miguel, the box is going into my 928 GT based race car as currently my diff is at the point of destroying itself... I know of another GTS box in Germany with very low kms on it...

Wasn't passenger side tank used in late MY S4 and all automatic GTS despite them having external cooler also? Without checking from PET I would say it was.

Is this a thread to start ALL GTS trivia or just to mention the tranny cooler? I've got GTS trivia if we were gonna head in that direction

Alan

Oh go on then - have at it...

FlyingDog

If your GT is an 89. I know of somebody who might want to buy your used tranny.

I want GTS trivia.

-Those legendary big hip flares are only 1", while spacers moved wheels out
approximately 1 3/8 "
-Only 928 to receive 17" wheels
-4 piston Brembo's are largest caliper to be fitted to a street Porsche along with a whopping 12 3/4" diameter brake rotor. (which leaves us with the question...What came first, the 17" wheel or the brake set up???)
-Largest most powerful engine to be stuffed into a Porsche
-993 wheels appeared on the GTS first which is what they were probably intended
for
-928 transmission gearing changed to accommodate increased power
-(unofficial) Porsche's decision to install and map for mild cams in GTS as they
were phasing out the 928...a marketing decision.

My GTS has a flat blue windshield washer reservoir cap. The earlier cars have a round translucent/white cap.
