'82 Spider trans into an '88?

[s2per]

I'd like to assume (and we know the old adage about that) a 5-speed from an '82 Spider is a bolt-in to an '88, but is it? Any speed sensor, reverse switch, yoke changes, etc. to beware of? Give a newbie a break; these cars are a little different than 911s, and I have even put the car on my lift yet!

I helped install a gearbox from a '74 into and 87 with no problems. We had to swap the speedometer drive because of the different axle ratios but you will not have to do that since '82 was the first year for the 4.1 axle (I think). The crank sensors and reverse switch are in the bell housing. They are probably the same but you can just swap bellhousings if necessary.
Go for it!

Thanks Ed! It sounds like a straightforward swap to me.
