In one weekend the Doc totally demistfied the 901 transmission and manual transmissions in general.
Because the only transmission I've ever taken a peek at was the aircooled VW, I've been scared of tranny's like a little girly-man. I'm not an expert yet, but I hope Mike would say I'm compitaint. I have 2 transmissions built from the clinic, plus enough spares to build a another 901 if I had another core. In this pic, if you look at top 1/3, center, you can see (on the pegboard hook) dog teeth, 1st sliders, sider and a few bands. Nice score. 2nd pic is the 911 901 that the Doc built as a demonstrator, same thing as a 914, just a bit different on the nose cone and selector. Attached image(s) |

so, if one has never attempted a transmission rebuild, is the 901 a good one to start with? or should I buy a different transmission and build up the the 901?
I'm thinking about rebuilding a 901 where I knw the one in my car is fresh. |

If you get lucky you'll have enough good sliders. Ist gear slider is super expensive as is everything else, the more good used you find the better. Anyone who doesn't take advantage of one of the Good Doctor's clinics is....well... you know... |
