I received the COA for the 914-6 That Andy and I hauled back from Tennessee and it has the Transmission number listed on it (it is matching by the way (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ). Andy mentioned that he has seen many COA's that don't have the Trans. number on them so the question is... "Does your COA list a Transmission number or does it not?
...also What are your thoughts on why some due and many don't? The obvious answer being that the info. wasn't logged or has been lost but if you have any other idea as to why. Thanks. |

I own 2 914's & have 2 COA's. Both say the same thing: "Trans number not recorded". I'd like to see a COA from a 1970's 911, 924 or a 928 to see if those were recorded.

I was told by the COA dept. That not all the info was documented by the factory. different workers were more complete than others? other have said once they moved to Atlanta the info listed decreased and maybe due to the loss of records.
I'm sure we'll never know for sure (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) |

My trans # is not listed on my COA also. It states the same thing as yours not recorded. I guess you could always check the Porsche archive if you are ever in Germany. The next time I visit the museum I'll check on mine to see if it was ever recorded.

I have an early 1972/4 and it is not recorded. I ordered my COA about 5 years ago.

My understanding (coming from the 356 world) is that the COA info comes from the Kardex, which was used for warranty purposes. So based on that, if your car never experienced a warranty issue with the transmission, the number may not have been noted.

That is interesting but I thought the COA was information from the time of manufacture, not dealer records on warranties. |

Mine's a 73 2.0 (4732913367)--no trans number on my COA. I've had the COA for 5 or 6 years.

Maybe it's possible that the 914/6 listed the transmission because they are unique to the 914/6 cars.
The /4 trannies are the same across the three engine lines, well the gearing is at least. |

If the serial numbers were hand written by the assemblers, and the data was transferred at a much later date to a digital format it is certainly possible that not all numbers were legible. They may have had a policy to disregard the data if it was possible to transpose it incorrectly.

The 914 Grasshopper had a COA with the tranny # on it. I simply told PCNA what it was and they put it on the COA. That was then.

My 1975 COA also says not recorded for the transmission.
