What do the 9## mean?, Was there some madness to the numbering?

correction - 923

its a 915 trans from a 912E
901 input shaft in a 915 trans.

What? How is that possible? I thought the 915 had a different spacing between the mainshaft and pinion shaft, making all gearing fundamentally incompatible between the two.

basicly it's a 915 that'll bolt up to a Type IV engine, I don't think the parts literally interchange

Ooh, I get it. I definitely know it's not a 6 cylinder for a 912E.. then it would just be a 911. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)
