AFAIK, the early Series 1 944s (like yours) have the same gearbox as the 924S. My friend fitted a 924S gearbox into his 944. |

I am fairly sure that it will not fit, IIRC the 924S has the plastic fuel tank which was fitted to give clearance to the later larger box. |

1986 924S did not come as standard with a plastic fuel tank it had a steel one, I know I had to fix a hole in the one I had. I think the gearbox from the 924S will only fit the early 944s and not the 924 2.0l I am not sure but I think the 924 has the differential on the other end of the box to the 924S. |

Must be an optional or later change then as I owned an S for four years and it defo had a steel tank as it had rotted through. The S2 plastic tank will or can be made to fit a 924 however as can the engine from an S2 now that would be interesting. |

i think were off the issue , my 924 and the 924s both had steel tanks. i just wanted to know if it is the same five speed gearbox fitted to both , so that they are interchangable. cheers |

AFAIK, I'm fairly sure Series 1 944s also came with steel tanks too. |

Hi Roy, unfortunately the 924S gearbox wont fit the '81 924 as the S 'box is the same as the 944 (25mm torque tube same as 924 turbo though) And for those wanting to know about the plastic fuel tank, it would have been a DIY fitment later on in the cars life as the 924 only had steel tanks throughout production, so it's either a late 944 or 968 replacement. |
