Have Hewland will shift, Pics of Hewland trans install n progress Options

[Thorshammer]

Just thought I might pass along these pics, someone was asking what alternative transmissions could be used in a 914. For racing I choose this dog ring Hewland. I have heard Keith Peare at Powertech in NJ has been installing Boxter transmissions.

Any one live near San Mateo, and would be willing to rattle a business owners cage for me. This guy has my parts 5 months (given me fake tracking numbers)and 900.00 of my money and no parts. E-mail me offline if your interested. Any east coast ball busters are encouraged to e-mail. Soccerrace@aol.com

Thanks,

Bwahaha,

I still stop in every now and then. the Hewland worked great, but you have to build an intermediary plat, to provide enough space for the clutch, flywheel etc... I make mine .500 with lips on either side to center the engine and trans. As long as you don't shift it without the clutch. a MK9 will hold up. No worries. The axles were super easy, and HD Type 1 bug CV's worked just fine. Selecting gearing and changing it at the track, in about 40 minutes, was great. But the dog ring shifting was the best. You could up-shift the thing as fast as you wanted.
