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 1Original post

Hi, Thanks for the input on the other 3.8L motor thread. Thus far, for obvious reasons, all the transplants were done on Cayman S cars. Is there any reason why the transplant will not work in a Base Cayman? Will the standard 5-speed transmission be a ***** in the car's armor after the transplant? In other words, do we need a 6-speed to fully optimize the added power? Thanks for the education. CP

I think it's just a question of which engine is easier to sell - the 2.7 or 3.4? Bear in mind that the front brake rotors are slightly bigger on the S. 6 speed is available an option (with PASM ) for base cayman.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
