Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

My guess is that they are interchangeable, but definitely check the clutch operation.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, Will a 997 6 speed transmission fit a 996 C2? If not has anyone developed a mod to make it fit? thanks, Eric

POST 2Original post

The '99 996 has a different trans mount than the later models. So you'll definitely need a new mount for the car. I assume the bolt pattern is the same for the engine/trans since the engine between the 996.2 and 997.1 is the same (basically). You will need to figure out if the starter is in the same place (probably is) and if the clutch operation is the same. My guess is that they are interchangeable, but definitely check the clutch operation.

POST 3Original post

Yes they're interchangeable. The shift linkage is on the other side (driver's side with the 997). Also the gearing is slightly lower.... 996 GEARING: 1st gear 3.818 2nd gear 2.20 3rd gear 1.516 4th gear 1.216 5th gear 1.024 6th gear 0.841 Final drive 3.444 997 GEARING: 1st gear 3.91 2nd gear 2.32 3rd gear 1.61 4th gear 1.28 (1.31 S model) 5th gear 1.08 6th gear 0.88 Final drive 3.44
