Is a VW semi-auto starter the same as Porsche?
 

Hi

Still looking at my options for a Porsche trans for my bug. Will the VW semi-auto starter work on a 915 or 930 trans?

This a a Porsche one, it looks very similar to a VW one.

Steve, I'm doing a similar conversion to you, EJ20T and 915 into 1303. I also have a VW automatic self-supporting starter. I've tried it and it physically fits into the hole in the gearbox for the starter and the studs and bolt holes line up but the thing I haven't tested yet is whether the teeth of the starter pinion and the Porsche ring gear are right for each other. If they're not, does anyone know if you can switch the pinion to match the ring gear?

Hi

Thanks for your help, does anyone have a Porsche ringear that they can put next to VW flywheel?

I can't remember were I saw it but the part number of the auto-stick and 914 starter were the same.
