Mid Engine

[Grngoat]

interesting. I wonder if you can flip the ring gear in the audi transaxle and run it backwards? I didn't know the lambo guys used a 915 transaxle that way.. Stands to reason that you should be able to do the same to the audi and run it like you would the 915 stock. That'd save me a mountain of money on my trans.

Both the 901 and 915 can have their diff flipped inside the case to allow either mid-engine or rear-engine operation. The 930 can too, but I think some clearancing is required to run in a mid-engine configuration. Unfortunately, you can't do this in any of the later Porsche transaxles. The Audi transaxle is the same unit as a Boxster - they just seem to be cheaper because they came out of an Audi. I'm not sure if the Audi/Boxster trans can be run upside down.

Just go with a G50, it's stronger and the 915 shifts like crap.
