Hmmmmm

I emailed the guy and he assured me that it was a 6spd.......... If not I wonder what options I will have for not accepring/getting my money back. I will see the trans on sat. He said the guy he listed it for was 100% sure it was a 6spd, but not sure on the year. Gettin' kinda sketchy.

Got the trans, isnt G6400 the name of the 6spd, cause thats what is stamped on the bottom. Also stamped: 3K 03400 and the vin #of the car it came out of. Time to call the local porsche dealer.

Sorry to hear. I have to tell you, it did seem like kind of an impulse buy, but if it's not what they advertised, you should be able to return it through Ebay.

S%IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Porsche dealer said it is a 5spd out of a 89 964! Absolutely nothing about the description other than the fact it is awd was accurate!

Wish me luck on getting my money back

Well, I guess check to see what that tranny is worth. 6 speed is nice, but installing a Porsche tranny is tough enough, never mind AWD. Really, I'd suggest you get the whole drivetrain if your going AWD, cause piecing together ANYTHING with Porsche stuff involved is not very fun. If you can get the front diff and the torque tube, I bet you could get somewhere, but JUST a tranny sounds like your going to get really old before the thing ever runs under it's own power. What about a Porsche tranny with a mid-mounted WRX motor? NOW THAT SOUNDS LIKE FUN! Just my $0.02.

If your really jonesing after a 6-speed awd system, try www.911pcar.com. They seem to have a huge selection. they are also on ebay under some similar name.
