Default Carbon Fiber Gearbox
In addition to the 4-valve, 4-cam, 4-liter, naturally aspirated, high revving, flat six, air cooled engine, I'm doing a 6-speed carbon fiber gearbox which no Porsche, road, race or restomod, has ever had.

Screen shot of the new 6-speed carbon fiber gear box. Everything on the outside in gray will be carbon fiber.

Are you building molds for the whole thing or will some of it be 3D printed?
