Alright, I have Jorge at European motor works in CA handling my 2056cc engine build. So now I need to see if my existing transmission is still healthy or needs a refurbish. Question is for you guys in 914world is 1. Who have you guys sent your tired ole 901 transmission for a rebuild? 2. Is there any advantage to finding a used 915 transmission and having it rebuilt instead? 3. Is it really an improvement worth pursuing or is it a waste of money or not worth it?

Tell us a little more about your build and driving needs. Do you want short gears for track/auto-cross.

QUOTE(mlindner @ Feb 4 2022, 04:11 PM)  Tell us a little more about your build and driving needs. Do you want short gears for track/auto-cross. I don’t plan on tracking the car. I just want to enjoy driving back roads on the weekend. What started as a simple oil leak at the oil cooler seals led to dropping the engine… and the rabbit hole of new clutch while I was at it…etc Now I'm sending my case to European Motor Works in CA and building a 2056cc. So, while the case and tranny is separated I figured it would be smart to have the tranny looked at and see what needs to be refurbished after 40 or so years of driving. I’m looking at getting the Rennshifter and Tangerine Racing shifter mods. I like the quirky dog leg transmission, just want to make sure it’s happy with the new engine. |
