So I find myself with an extra 915 transmission. Some of you might remember
when I grenaded second gear due to the bearing shell ovaling out the softer
aluminum allowing the shafts to flex, etc, etc, etc....probably had NOTHING to
do with a 3.6 engine and a sports chip helping it put out close to 290hp at the
flywheel...WTF, eh?

Well that fix, which included pressing in a sleeve at Aase Brothers, use of the
WEVO 915 Bearing Retainer Plate, and replacing the second gear has been holding
up very nicely.

I want to have another box ready in case I ever toss this one again.....so,
looking for a 915 core and another WEVO style bearing retainer plate.... I want
to do it on the cheap....because "the quest" is half the fun.

The plate upgrade resembles the one that is stock in the 930 box. The pupose is
to tie the two shafts together and keep them from flewing in higher than stock
HP applications. My SC was original 200HP euro version and the extra 90+ and
track, DE and AX abuse killed it after 80K miles on the clock.

Anyone know if the 930 one fits a 915 box?

I have cash or will trade for stuff....also early Carrera and PORSCHE vinyl
scripts....newly scanned 993 Carrera scripts as well.

Thanks in advance....
