I knew it was rare to find a 901 LSD gear box. Saw this one on Craig's list...

Anyone ever find a 914 with Factory LSD option?

No affiliation with the seller BTW.

Yes, one was found on a parts car that was up in the rust belt. I believe it went to Glenn Stazak for the race car restoration.

I never had a 914 that had a LSD as an option but over the years I'e had two 914 transaxles come my way with OE ZF LSD's One tailshifter and one side shift.
One was in a "rebuilt" trans from a well known 914 parts "dealer" in Easton Pa.
The trans wasn't rebuilt but it had the right type stamped in, and it passed the spin test.

I have an LSD transmission in my car. I believe it's a factory one. I've never opened it up to see...

That only fit the early aluminum case 901... The one that fiits the 914 trans uses male stub shafts( a bit longer also) and the bearing journals are bigger.. It can be made to work though ...not worth anywhere near the asking price...

here is the one I converted...

Well, it might be worth more now that it only works for early 911 cars.

I better uncovert mine and throw it on craigslist...

BTW The one for sale, if you look one bearing has spun on the shaft and has been center punched trying to tighten the bearing fit......
