Transmission compatibility between MKI & II 996

flyingpenguin · January 25, 2012

I am looking for a replacement transmission while I am tackling the rebuild on my 6-speed on the 2000 996.

There is plenty on offer on fleabay, but am concerned about compatibility between the years. I hear of short and long nose.

Any comments are appreciated.

C2 uses 96/00 and 96/01

C4 uses 96/30

Thanks Loren.

In my case I am interested in form-factor. Does the 96/01 fit a 2000 996 C2 with original 3.4L engine?

It should.

The mounting on the chassis changed in MY2001 but that is a (approx) $57 part.

As always: RTFM! I could have figured this out by just looking at the PET.

- The vertical carrier changed in 2001 (996 375 039 xx)

- The horizontal part changed in 2002 (996 375 031 xx)

Conclusion: Basically all MkI and MkII trannies on fleabay will work. Worst case scenario, I'll have to change our the carrier.

Thanks Loren! Your insight is appreciated as usual.
