Hello 914world… Just renewed my Membership !! Now looking to get my moneys worth...
I’m having a ’75 914 built into a 914-6. Maybe 10 or 20 years ago I might have tried to do (some of) it myself. Now I’m more a “pay the money, turn the key” guy. Here’s a “silly” question. Likely the first of many…. How does a 915 Transaxle work when converted to a mid engine application ?? Not looking for a “how to” just an overview for personal info. I’ve searched for articles, webpages and / or videos and don't find much. I find acknowledgements of the conversion but no detailed or even general description. I see the term “flipped ring and pinion”. Does the whole gear system run backwards ?? Does just the differential run backwards ?? How would a LSD work in a converted 915 ?? Are the available 916 Kits good ?? Etc... Any info or links to info would be appreciated !! |
