Hey Woody,
If I go with a 987 5-speed then I have to look for a "Porsche" transmission and not a "VW" transmission... and the cost increases exponentially.

The FWD B5 A4/Passat 5-speed (016?) is really a temporary solution until I get the engine up and running. Once I sell the M96/G96 from my car I should have the funds available to buy the proper 987S 6-speed.
