thanks. I was under the impression that shifting an old auto trans like it were a manual would / could be very bad for it.

so these paddle shifters are for auto trans?..... hmmmm. I wonder if that would give me enough functionality to make it a fun track car for twistys and such.

Dave, ledee was talking Corvette 6spd, (post # 24 above) so I was thinking GM's T-56 or TR 6060. T

ledee416

yes sir. hey I am just going on what someone else posted. their 6spd vette transaxle swap appears to have gone off legit without issues.

OK I got it now, thanks!

This one is up & running matted to an 82 S.C. 4.5 motor with no issues: https://rennlist.com/forums/928-foru...swap-pics.html

This one is being installed now & is matted to a LS376/525 motor. Both T-56 6spd manuals. https://rennlist.com/forums/928-foru...b-project.html

On the drawing board is the GM 6l80 6spd auto trans with paddle shift, or maybe an auto tap stick like MB used on some of there later models. T

that first thread is what has motivated me to explore the option. It looks like it went off without much issue. I am super stoked about it. I am wondering.... if I use a SBC, will it mate directly to a vette transaxle? I mean part of the conversion kit is making the torque tube and sbc mate up with the porsche transaxle. if I use a vette trans, then it will be chevy to chevy. Maybe as far as the actual mating between the two, it wont be as complicated.

ledee416

seriously though, will a sbc mate with that vette 6 sp trans without issues? Could I possibly even use a vette torque tube for this, and cut the "928" completely out of the drive train?
