I am thinking about picking up a 915 trans but it is an earlier one (75) that is magnesium not aluminum.
other than strength and wieght what are the disadvantages? My goal with this will be a sideshift conversion for a higher HP powerplant |

Kelly.. stay away from them. The pinion bearing race has a bad habit of getting loose and spinning in the case. Sooner or later this causes ring and pinion failure. We are starting to see this same problem on the later aluminum cases also...
