915 tranny guys Options

does the stock speedo work after switching to the 915 gearbox?

[RON S.]

In a word,NO.

I don't know what type of 915 conversion kit your using.

I converted my trans using a vellios kit.

I had to get a early 915 from cover,with the speedo gear in it,remove the pieces,then machine the vellios cover to accept them.

I then aquired a 7.31 r&p gears and installed cause the speedo gear is already on the end of the pinion shaft.
Next up was the speedo cable.It is now to short,cause the output is now at the rear of the trans.

So,I had N.Hollywood speedo make me an 8"longer speedo cable,and joined 2 90 degree output drives back to back,to make it 180 degrees of bend ,then attached the cable,and everything works fine.

The only other solution is to convert to an electric speedo.

I don't know how or if the Wevo kit solves this problem cause i haven't seen one up close yet.

A 915 box will require some work either way though.
