G50: 5-speed & 6-speed
Porsche began installing this improved transmission in the 3.2 Carrera beginning in 1987. This gearbox was designed to handle the increased torque of the 3.2 litre engine and to address complaints about difficult shifting. These transmissions, made by Getrag, use the Borg-Warner style syncromesh and have an input torque rating of 221 lb-ft. Variants of the G-50 5 speed were used until the introduction of the 993 which featured the 6-speed G-50.
