I see you found it to the world. Welcome.
I run a 901 behind my 3.6. Andy does the same on his. That's the cheapeast, easiest option, but you do have to be easy on first gear. So far it's surviived for about 20,000 miles and a dozen or so autocrosses. I did have a bearing fail in the trans, but who knows if that was just old age are not. Otherwise, it is okay. A 915 is a little harder to do, but not that bad - just more $. A 930 is more money and bulletproof. A G-50 is quite a bit more involved. I don't know of anyone ever having done it, really. I know that Clay Perrine is planning to, and I will eventually, but there is a lot of work involved there. You have to run the transmission inverted because you can't flip the ring gear, and that interfere's with the rear trunk floor. Shift linkage is all different. Yada, yada. A 3.2 with a 901 would be great. You can always upgrage the trans later. |

The 901 is holding up well with the 3.6L motor. I don't use 1st gear at all anymore, i take off in second. I used a KEP Stage 2 Clutch and Pressureplate plus a ringgear adapter and bolted the 901 straight to the 3.6L motor running a (lightened) 993 flywheel. That seems by far the easiest solution and works well if you don't insist on 1st gear burnouts. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) Andy |
