How tough is a Boxster S gearbox
I was looking over the specs. on my newly purchased 02 Roock 340. They beefed up all the important stuff except the gearbox . can the boxster gearbox handle the added torque of the 3.6 engine long term.

Give Jake Raby a call at Flat6innovations (see above sponsor).
If he doesn't know, no one will. |
Also, there is a You tube video floating around that shows how to check for trans bearing wear -- basically you drain the trans fluid and stick a little finger inside the hole and feel for grease and shavings on the magnet near the drain hole. I'm just passing on second hand info -- but you might also want to check with "Tholyoak" in Kansas who has put several of these motor swaps in older Boxsters.
FWIW, etc... :cheers: Take care, |
It should be up to the task no problem. The S trans is a carry over item from the 996.
|
My 3.6 is using the original stock 1998 2.5 5 speed. Between Tholyoak and I it has over 30K since the conversion, no issues so far.
|
The Boxster S 6 speed is the same base tranny thats used in the 911. The internals of these units are robust, only having pinion bearing failures due to the bearing design.
I have yet to see one break from power additions.. |
that is really good news. even with the sloppy 5 speed

3.6 conversion

With my 3.6L the only thing that changed is i cant downshift into 2nd now. I dont think its motor mounts or shift cables bc my shop checked those. I have solid motor mounts not oil based. Any ideas Jake, anyone?
