Hi all 986 guys.

I will post for the first time.

I have '98 986K(Tip-s),Can I swap 5-Speed(or 6-Speed) manual transmission?

In other words, prepare missions, pedals, manual transmission CPUs, etc. like a typical car model (for ex, BMW).
Is it possible to update only the mission, not the upgrade to 3.4L?
Has anyone ever seen or heard of such a vehicle?

I can find 986K 5speed as much as I want, but I want to stick to my one.

 

Thank you!!

I will tell you what we have told several customers and posters on this forum:  Yes, it can be done, but the view is not worth the climb.  Unless you already have in your possession every part you will need, have a well equipped shop at your disposal, and unlimited time available; forget it and go find a car equipped as you would like it. 

 

To make one of these conversions requires significantly disassembling the car (pulling out the interior, replumbing the cooling system, rewiring the car, possibly dropping the engine out, etc.).  The cost of having a shop do it would easily exceed the value of the car, doing it yourself is one Hell of a lot of work.  You need to seriously rethink this idea...…..

Thank you Mr.JFP.

 

It was the answer I had imagined.I think that they answered me with my feelings.

 

Many people on this board, including JFP, think that their skills and knowledge are better than me.
I think that your advice should be more important than my hope.
Even if I have the parts and the skills to replace the engine, the answer is the same ... Like many people, I should go the other way.
Thank you for your sincere efforts.
