I have a 73 914 with a 450 hp v8 and have went through 3 transmission and am in the process of putting a 915 in it with a wevo side sift kit installed but I was told that I need to change the gears to work and was hoping that someone out there could help with the proper gears so I don't have to spend money learning which gears work.
thanks, Keith |

Actually, if you run the tranny upside-down the weight is moved higher - however, the output shafts are higher too, which can be a good thing on a car that has been lowered a lot. In fact, the factory ran the 915 upside down in the 935 turbo for just that reason. They also relocated the vent, used an external cooler, and added a pump for lubrication. -Ben M. |
