        This whole thread has been fascinating, but does any one recall
        how the 1970-1975 914's drivetrain ended up with 5 forward gears
        and 1 reverse given that the engine was FORWARD of the transaxle...as
        opposed to the way it was in the 1976 912E?


        Wasn't this feat achieved through flippin' the diff'?
