Losing my mind... Group: Members Posts: 2,476 Joined: 26-May 06 From: Charlotte, NC Member No.: 6,073 Region Association: South East States |
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 |

Can you run a audi tranny in PCA club racing? Nope, but the boxster tranny is identical to the Audi 012 which is very similar to the bellhousing on the 016. There's a lot of transitional assumptions going here, but if it can be done with an 016 and the measurements from an 012 match (I checked this afternoon) then a boxster tranny should work the same way. I need a type IV in the shop again so I can bird dog this dumb idea. |
