Hi, take a Tail Shift 901 and make it a Side Shift. Can anyone tell me what parts from a side shift trans. I will need and how to do it. Thanks
Ok my 914 is a 1971 and already has a side shift trans. in her. But it is so bad that a rebuild would be costly. So I got a deal on a not to long ago rebuilt Tail Shift Trans. It look to me that the Tail shift Trans. has a cover on the side were the side shift would mount. Or would it be better to just switch the in sides of the two transmission. So I use the old case out of my car? Or should I just switch the tail peices taking out the shift rod to the old tail shift trans and remove the cover on the side of the tail shift trans. and install the shift rod, housing and arm the ball cup snaps on. Thanks |

I believe the tail & side shift versions of the 901 share about 90%+ parts with the exception of the rear cone section and obviously a few internal shift rod assemblies. In my opinion, it would be more cost effective to buy a sideshifter rather than dinking around trying to piece together a sideshifter out of a tail shifter. If you happen to have all the neccessary parts just laying around...and it costs you nothing...and you have the time...and you wanted to learn how to do it...it might be worth the effort. Otherwise, you can find freshly rebuilt sideshifters all day long for cheap.
