Cairo94507 has entrusted me with the customization/rebuild of his 901 for use in his 3.2 conversion. Based on desires for a street car and budget, we decided on an A/Ga/fX/X/fH set up which will lower RPM and raise shift points to better utilize the Tq of the 3.2. The only improvement would be to get a C first gear set, which would be $$$ so this should be very street-able. Another option would be to lock 1st out and use the stock F gear as 1st. Then a box that was F/O/X/fH would be a nice setup and one that I use often with the larger engines where a 4 speed is preferential.
Here is where I started to remember to take pics. Gutted the case and looked at all the parts. Cairo wants this cleaned and painted as well which I hate to do, but understand and offer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) It takes me so long and it is hateful work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)    The side plate and intermediate plate are soaking right now. Lots of old, oily dirt and schmutz on them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I did clean up the guts of the stack, though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)  BTW, I never have to set stuff out this neatly, but it was a photo op (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

I have a long steep driveway but the doc convinced me to bag 1st. He said that's what all the real men and 930's have. I guess I just have to race it like a hill climb. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
I also didn't feel like spending the extra 400+ for new 1st gear parts. And I get to use a cool 4 speed shift knob. |
