I had a 2007 Carrera S, and now have 2010 GT3.
I believe the gearbox in my GT3 is made by Getrag, and the one in my Carrera S is by Aisin.
Regards,
(P.S. With a quick search, this is from a Car & Driver article...
"...The stiff clutch and the high-effort shifter provide further confirmation of the GT3’s dedicated nature when you slip the transmission into first gear. The high shift effort comes in part from the short-throw linkage, which reduces by half the distance the shifter moves between gears. It also reflects that the GT3 uses a race-derived Getrag transmission with heavy-duty steel synchronizers, much shorter gearing, a dedicated oil cooling system, and interchangeable ratios, rather than the Aisin transmission used in other 911s...")

What about fitting GT3 engine into a Carrera? I imagine it's a costly proposition, specially with electronics that has to be updated to work on GT3 motor vs. Carrera!

I looked into this and asked someone who has had multiple GT3s... Those cars do not suffer from lack of undercoating - same as Carreras. The 997.2 GT3 has a lightened tub (no reinforcement for rear seats, no sound insulation). They still can be driven in the rain.

20 more lbs but all weather driving...seems like a fair exchange
