Well you are right nthfinity the Yellowbird only had a 5 sp transmission, which was rather amazing at the time as Porsche was only selling a 4 sp transmission with the 911 Turbo. However, the CTR was produced past Porsche’s change to the 964 model. CTR models past then carried a 6 sp transmission. So depending on the year that the CTR was made it could have a 5 sp or a 6 sp transmission.
hmm....
well, im not an expert on porsche transmissions... but i wasnt aware that a 4 speed was all that was available through (most?) of the 964 time period... i ran into a '84 964 Carerra that was running a 5 speed, so i figured that since the 964 series was simply all 5 speeds? i guess not.
i for some reason havent ever looked closely at 964 turbos interiors to notices a 4 speed... definately tall gearing would be nessisary for such immense torque levels for the single turbo design.

nice chatting with you lakatu 8) im learning some definately relevant infos here
