Release bearing is different on the 6 shouldn't be. what flavor of 6 cylinder engine, exactly ? you may find the /4's ZD top gear a little tall for a /6 - especially with the smaller ones - hard to keep them cool with the fan turning so slowly ... |

A 901 should mount up fine to a 2.0-2.7 with an early 911 flywheel or a 914-6 flywheel. Nothing on the trans should have to be touched. It all bolts right up.

I'm being told that I need a different release fork. Engine is a 2.2T.

No, you need a '69 or earlier 911 flywheel. The release fork changed in the 911 for '70 and '71 on the 901 (actually 911 trans for those 2 years), but the pivot mounting point in the case also changed. You can't swap forks due the change in the case.

QUOTE(James Adams @ Aug 4 2004, 01:21 PM) No, you need a '69 or earlier 911 flywheel. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) the 914.6 flywheel is 901.102.026.01 and has the timing marks in the correct place. Stoddard has them new in stock (but bring money - they're $617.50) so they should be available through the dealer network. i think the hot setup may be to get one through Kennedy, maybe even with one of their tricko new clutches although a 2,2T won't stress the stocker much... if you use an early 911 flywheel, be sure to transfer the Z1 and ignition timing mark to the new flywheel so it can be used to time the engine. this'd be a really good time to transfer all 3 TDC marks so they can be used for valve adjustments ... |

You need the clutch that matches the flywheel. Another option would be to get a '70 or '71 911 trans and convert the linkage, tail cover, and clutch cable. |

Welcome to the money pit...

There are a few options here, each with it's own price level. PM me and I can give you a price on a new 901 flywheel. I'm not sure on the timing marks, but thats not too hard to re-do.

FYI, there's enough meat on the case where the 911 style pivot needs to go. Anyone with a mill and a 911 tranny case to look at can install the threaded boss in the 914 tranny case to convert the clutch to a pull type. It just needs to be spot faced and drilled. You'll need a '72 911 clutch cable. BTDT, The Cap'n
