Uh, the 914's tranny _is_ a 901, with differences.

The 914/6 is, except for gearing and the rear cover that part of the connection. The Intermediate plate is the same as the ones for the 911's in 1969.

The Early 914/4 trannies used the same intermediate plate as the 6's, minus the throttle linkage rod.

The later tail's used an intermediate plate without the drilling for the throttle rod.

914/4 sideshift's use a different tail cover, and different internal shift rods, while gearing is the same.

Back to the original question, does anyone stock rebuilt trannies for the 914? Vertex used to. I don't know if they still do.

I don't stock trannies and Dr. Evil presently has my tools, but I've been told they were shipped back to me this week. He is planning to continuing to rebuild 1 tranny a month.

How do I do it so cheap? Well, I use good used parts from doner trannies, instead of new. The only weak point is 1st gear slider, which I take the best one and re-point with a dremel. As good as new? Nope.

How much to completely rebuild a tranny with all new parts, if the case is still good? About $4000 in parts and labor.
