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.

Well, I did some trading and traded my AWD box for a 2wd(5spd) box a while ago for just my end of the shipping. The AWD guy was misinformed, and gave me my money back minus 200.00 and let me keep the tranny. The trans actually belonged to another guy that lied about what it was, then flaked on him too.

Sold my 2275, now there is an EJ20t on the engine stand.

I just have to get off my butt and start working on it again
