Seems from looking through this site that the boys
have some good experience and might be able to help out this newcomer. I am doing a 901 to 915 tranny conversion (V8) and wanted to know in buying a 915 tranny if their is much difference in the strength of the Magnesium Case vs. Aluminum Tranny Case. Is it really worth taking the extra time and money to locate Aluminum unit if I can find a good magnesium case from a 1978 911 with about 100K. ?? What should I expect to pay to get a good one. Other question is regarding regular rebuild on the 915 tranny if not abused do they require syncos, etc after 100K, 150K or 200K+ Anyone Got any good info or ideas on doing a custom shifter linkage, etc to connect from Stock typer shifter to a 915 Tranny, any help or info is appreciated. Thanks; appreciate your comments and reply. Allan Toronto, Canada |

Speaking of which, is there a consensus as to the relative strength of the early aluminum 901 boxes and the latter magnixàsium 901 trannies ?
