I'd like some opinions from the general peanut gallery. Is it worth the cost go to a 915 transmission over a 901? What is the benefit, if any? And, what's involved?
How about a Boxster S transmission? I've heard stories that a 915 is a pain to install, and doesn't every really shift well. I can't comment since I've never driven a 915 in a 914. But, with the bigger engine we now have, is it something I should be considering in the future? Being that I can get a complete 901 for cheap, and already own 3.... I know nothing about the Boxster S trans, other than a 6 speed with cable shifting would be very nice. thoughts, comments discussion? thanks |

I think the Boxster S is your clear choice. For no better reason that to be a pioneer and pave the way for the rest of us.
I also think that positive cable shifting would be sublime without giving up much driver to drive train sensitivity. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I think for the time being, I'm going to stick with the 901, maybe put a cooler on it. Hopefully I don't destroy too many of them. This suspension crack thing put a serious crimp in my 2012 budget, but I'll see how this year goes and adjust accordingly. |
