Here is a build I started tonight. It is going to be pretty special with an LSD and some billet bits. Even though I am not for billet intermediate plates, I still like the look and this customer had been amassing parts for a long time before he heard my thoughts on them. No biggie. They take good pics (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
What you see here is a 930 pinion bearing, the rare and NLA steel caged input bearing, and a billet plate. Attached image(s) |

That looks like a thick flange on the side cover. Does the 901 suffer from the diff trying to spread apart under high HP ?
Besides 1st what are the weak links in a 901? |

Not really necessary, but people do what they want (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) The weak parts: - 1st gear, cant be helped - Gears, cant be helped. They are thinner than the 915, 930, G50, etc gears so they can shear under extreme stress. - Input shaft intermediate plate bearing, change to a steel caged one if you can find one. Otherwise, be gentile while handling or the shitty brass cage will break. No need to adjust gearing until 3.0 and higher. I have a 2.7 that is doing just fine. You have to consider RPM and HP. How low of an RPM will have how much HP? Too much HP at Low RPM = untimely death in wrong gear.....like down shifting into 1st form 5th doing 150mph. |

I think in that scenario you would have more to worry about than just your tranny.... There again in that scenario maybe the 901 letting go would be a good thing.
