What's the deal with the 915 transmissions? My 901 in with my 3.2 is screwed up, and I could get it repaired. Or, I could just upgrade and save myself some more headaches in the future.
What's a good price for a 915? Do I need to change anything to mate it to my 3.2? What years for the 915? Anything special I need to know? Yes, I did a search, but I couldn't find much. Thank you in advance guys! |

Sounds like a negociation opportunity. So lets say you don't get Dirk Wrights disease.... and you just flip the R&P, install the box and use it. Sounds like you could blow the first box up twice before you've spent the cost of a rebuild. What are the odds of getting three bad boxes in a row..
We are 914 people------People. I'm looking into this. Back to the questions; Is there a site that lists 5th gear letters for the 915 by year? Anyone know if the 915 box has a 5 gear near "H" Oh, this may be the wrong question. First; what is the R&P ratio of the 901/914 box? then I found this; The 915 appeared in 1972 with a major upgrade in strength, compared to its predessor. The first ones didn't shift as well as the later ones due to some improvements in the shifter and syncro's. 915's were made with magnesium cases from 72 until 77. Some of them had aluminum final-drive cases in 77 before the entire gearcase was made from aluminum in 1978. 915's used 7:31 ring & pinions until 1975 when they switched to the stronger 8:31. These later ring & pinions are the preferred item for racing or high-horsepower applications and the later 915's had stronger differentials and mainshafts. I attached the link to a Lambo conversion site.915 info |
