Yes I have one a Lensley 914  Group: Members Posts: 2,063 Joined: 10-September 03 From: Ruther Glen,VA (halfway between sticks and civilization) Member No.: 1,137 Region Association: MidAtlantic Region  |
I am looking at a used transmission that has a fairly fresh rebuild (less than 300 miles) according to the shop. The shop said that synchros have been refreshed(need to get a definition on that one) and first gear replaced (need to check if they mean dogteeth). The deal is $750 and my disassembled trans that I havedone some work to but don't have the time to get it reassembled.
So opinions are welcomed is this a good deal or not? Also this shop does have experience w/ Porsches and other euro cars This post has been edited by ws91420: Mar 10 2006, 09:07 PM |

In the past...I just picked up used trannies, slammed my new LSD in and beat the crap out of it and had axtra one laying around....I used RedBeard once and that trans is in SKLINES V8 car.....
So.....roll the dice. I pulled my 915 apart...my first attempt at replacing stuff I broke and it went pretty smoothly. I guess I'm not as dumb as I look. Personally I would talk to RedBeard and do the UPS thing.....pack it GOOD....those apes can fuck any thing up....they broke mine coming AND going....had insurance and they still took MONTHS to pay up. |
