Hi all,
In March last year I brought a barn find 1985 928 S2 as a covid lockdown project. The car had been off the road a few years and was a non-runner.
After a bit of time and money the car was road worthy and I really like certain aspects of the car. However I am not happy with the auto gearbox and wonder what other 928 users feel about the quality of the auto gearbox. To me, the 928 looks and feels very modern but the auto 'box feels dated.
The auto gearbox in my car is working OK but is typical of an auto gearbox of this technology level.
I am considering replacing the gearbox with a more modern auto gearbox such as a 6,7,or even 9 speed tiptronic unit. It is a heck of a lot of work but it might just bring the 928 right up to date.
Does anyone have any comments? Does anyone know of a similar conversion? Clearly this will fly in the face of purists.
