It has all the technical specs for practically all Porsche tranmissions. Regarding the dimensions, perhaps if you ask them by mail, they may be willing to inform you.

...............and which sequential shifter kit to use! So, any recommendations would be much appreciated!

Sorry, was not suggesting a sequential shift just a 'quick shift' which is just a shorter motion of the standard H shift.

Oh, sorry, my mistake. Which Porsche transaxle would be best suited to a sequential shifter kit then? G50?

I don't know if it has ever been done.
Someone else may know better.

I vaguely recall a discussion on this some years ago and the problem seems to be the risk these kits place on gearbox components - in effective they can just be forcing a change of gear when it’s not ready or not aligned properly.
If you do a search you will get a few results and I guess digest the info and weigh up the pros and cons.

An Albins transmission offers sequential changes.

MacG Racing can supply them ( http://www.macgracing.co.uk/home.shtml ) and have experience racing one in their Taranis (Ultima) fitted to an LS7.

Very nice piece of engineering, but how does it behave on the road. I would have thought that the Albins is track oriented over normal road driving, but stand to be corrected.

Wonderful! I've just pinged them an email. Cheers!

Yes, I did have these concerns, but I was just hoping that it was something the kit builders had ensured wouldn't be an issue, especially when these kits can cost £1000's!

Check out the Autobionics PDK.

You asked about a sequential box, hence my post.

They are far from ideal for the road but I assumed you knew that!!!
