Are you able to out a 996gt3 gear box with a993 engine ?
That would be a great solution for my build
The 996/997 GT3/turbo gearbox fits perfectly as they still have the same housing as the 993. The difference is the cable shifting, no more shifting rod. Here you need to make some space for the cables. There are two ways to do so. I shortened the housing by 15mm (~1/2 inch), which needs also to shorten the shaft and needs a spacer for the starter motor. The other way, which my friend here did, is that you cut out a little section of the chassis at the end of the tunnel; works both!
Hi at present I have a 993 5 speed box with a CAE shifter,this is great,would I still be able to use this or is it cables not a rod?
Difficult to find a 993 6 speed so a 996/997 gt3 box a lot easier to find.
Do you have any pics you can share of installation.
Did you also regear the 996 gt3 box?
Thx for info

As I had to convert from Tiptronic, i was looking for a 993 gearbox, but thanks partially to Singer, nearly nowhere to find or totally overprized. A re-geared 996/7 gearbox therefor was a much 'cheaper' alternative. Even all the regearing we did (R&P, gears, steel syncros and 80/80 Dif) it cost little more than half of an unknown 993 gearbox ...
As said installation was pretty much straight forward. You need a custom made main bracket for both possible kinds of installation, the cables and a cable shifter. Rest is common work.
shortened housing and shaft
starter spacer
Installed
Will ask my friend if he has pictures from the needed chassis cut out on his swapp
Will any 996/997 box work or does it have to be a GT3?
This could work would need a new CAE shifter as already have that could then sell the 993 box and CAE shifter.
Do you have specs of the mounting bracket looks great.
Here's my cae shifter
Was planning on handbrake delete to remote switch so cables will work OK
Did you also go for a 4l engine
It has to be a GT2/3 or turbo gearbox, they were the only 996/7 still using the 'Metzger' housing.
As you can see, no real need to delete the handbrake. And here the would not register it anymore without original handbrake.

Will go back and read again
Yes interior is good now engine and gear box to complete
Most of the suspension is done one more major upgrade with JZR Pro active suspension then good to go
