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) |

I used a copy of the factory kit made by Vellios (like the Martin Bott kit, not like his later kit that he sold under his own name) for an outfit named Jade Car, and my trans did need the shift rods shortened. The trans I started with was a '78 911SC box.
