Hello,
Is the final gear of an original 914-6 gearbox the same as a 914-4 trans or is it shorter because the six has its top power at a higher rpm? Thanks in advance, Walter |

Fifth gear in a 914 is easy to change, but you have to pull the gear stack from the transmission, and you have to have the socket to remove the nut on the input shaft. 5th gear is the very front one. I have done a lot of checking on this lately, and IMO, you should use 5th from the 4 cylinder cars. It wil lower the RPM at freeway speed. If you have a 4 cylinder car, and you can find one, get second from a sportomatic, and flip it. Joe Yoder did that for his 2.0, and that car cruises nice on the freeway.
