I've been thinking about getting a fiat 850. I like the look of it but I'm not stoked about it being four speed and it has a CCW engine
Would the Porsche 914 transmission I've got in my shop, be strong in reverse? rotating the engine 180 degrees so it's reverse facing and putting a CCW engine on it. thanks, Quentin |

My dad bought a 1971 850 new, paid 2100$ for it. Two years later the transaxle had issues and it cost 750$ to repair. Fun car, no rust protection, when I was installing a rollbar found some italian sandwich bags and rubber cement containers left under the rear package ledge. :lol4
I do recall the trans being a very quick, short throw application. |
