I have a 1975 rolling chassis that I need to purchase a engine and transmission for. My plan is to do a -6 conversion and I think I have located a tranny but need to confirm with you experts. The seller believes it is off a 1973 but is not sure as it was part of a "lot" of Porsche parts he purchased. The number on the case is HA 23 02 per emails I've had with the seller, does this number confirm anything? From the pics he's sent it is a side shifter. Any help you guys can provide is appreciated. Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

HB? Not shown on the chart, which is my sole source of info on this. (And my vague memory that the other charts I've seen were the same as the one linked to in my post above.)
As for the number parts, I will explain again... From mid-73 onwards, the numbers were "DD MM Y", two digits for the day of the month, two for the month of the year, and one for the year. So, rfuerst, your transmission could be 23 February 1973, or 1974, or 1975... Maybe even 76?? And Jack, your transmission seems to have been assigned a number on the 22nd of May, 1973. I am not at all certain how the date code relates to the completion date of the car as a whole, or if there is any specific relation. (I'd bet that the transmission date codes are earlier than the chassis date stamps, but that's about all.) I hope this helps. --DD |
