Since I don't have my original engine & the trans I have has been converted to a side shifter, I was thinking of converting my six to a 915 transaxel & would like to know what everyone thinks is the most practical, or the most economical, or the most bullet-proof, etc... Or should I put in some sort of shifter that will notch me up a bit. The car has new shift bushings & it's still sloppy. I suspect I should check the rear mounts as well. Thanks.

QUOTE John, thanks for stating your findings. It is always good to get some actual data from people. One point that I not exactly disagree with you on, but wish to clarify is that your HP did not kill the tranny, the torque did. You explained flexure and such which supports this, but I just want to make sure it is clear as this question comes up A LOT. What kind of tq were you running through the box? I don't have the figures in front of me (but I'm guessing 185-195 lb-ft). The engine is/was a stock 1987 3.2 with 914-6 headers and no CAT. The car has never been on a dyno. (My street car is a Euro 1984 3.2) I'm guessing 300HP with a small displacement engine is different than a 220HP larger displacement engine. (More revs with the smaller one, more torque with the larger one) SOLORACER: No you don't need to use a cable shifter with a 915. WEVO makes a shift kit, and VELLIOS made a shift kit. I only have experience with VELLIOS parts. I know they work. just my $0.02 |
