It all depends upon you......
How are you going to drive the car? Our 901 lasted several (6 or7) years doing only track events with it until we started pushing the car hard enough to start destroying 901 boxes. We are usually gentle with them, but for some reason, when pushed very hard we ended up always breaking the teeth off of 4th gear. (never had a problem with 1st) First will be a granny gear and useful only for getting the car rolling. Yes you could start off in third and not slip the clutch much (up a hill even)... We converted to a 915 box and haven't had a single problem (knock on wood).... It just boils down to how YOU are going to use the car. 901s can last a long time if not pushed to the limits constantly. We never changed ratios in any of the 901 boxes we used. It got to the point of destroying 1 or two a year until swapping it out with a 915 box.... Just my $.02 |
