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?

My 70 is getting an electric motor.But, I kept the transaxle (because Porsche drivers like to shift!). Box was rebuilt once to A-F-M-S-X. I took out the X and replaced it with a ZD stock 5th gear, hoping to extend my range.
Get a copy of Dr Evil's transmission rebuild CD and do it yourself. It is not difficult. You just have to pay attention.It is a good idea to look through your transaxle to make sure it is not going to blow up as soon as you put the new engine in. That would suck. |
