I have read when modifying a 915 trans to be installed in the V8 914 that to be sure to shift the transaxle into all the gears after the ring gear is flipped - you will notice that one of the internal shifter rails will need to be shortened - just enough to clear the ring gear.
Ring and pinion sets (4.43, 4.38, 3.88 and 3.10 ratios). As I remember, I got the 3.10 ratio as instructed. Any 914-8 or 914-6 mod people that can comment on this? If this is true, I have to remove and modify my trans again before attempting to drive the car. Also, if it makes a difference, the ring and pinion that is installed is a higher geared for better RPM drivability at top speed with the LS mod. Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |

Did you use the Wevo, Vellios, or other kit for the conversion?

Only issue I have is I will need a custom set of mufflers from Ben since the cableshifter sticks too far out the back of the trans to run a normal exhaust. |

Mine too is a special cable shifter with a MR 2 shifter box. Will be doing an engine/trans cradle to support the LS/915 combo. Also an electric water pump from Maziere. Just don’t know which model yet, maybe a 316. |
