I am into VWs as well. I've contemplated the Porsche 5-spd for my '69 Beetle street car many times. I even have a few tail shift 914 tannies.

I agree with what has been said. Stick with the 911 based 901 tranny. Converting the 914 tranny involves flipping the ring gear, shimming the pinion, and buying a 911 nose cone.... plus what ever else I've forgot.

I do want to make one point. Be careful. Porsche DID put 4 spd trannys in some of their early cars. Be sure you're buying one with 5 forward gears. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

Good luck and let us know how you fare. I'm still wanting a 5spd tranny in my Bug. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

i've got an extra tail-shifter 914 transmission i'd let you have for $75....since you are local (antioch), no money spent on shipping (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

only problem is what direction do you do need? since you'd have to flip the r&p if the motor is going to hang off the back of the car...with a 911 gearbox, no flipping is needed........

is your tail shifter from the 914 considered a 901 tranny? and is it pretty involved project to convert this tranny to a rear engine set up?

You would still need to flip r/p. you want a 901 out of a 911 (no flipping needed)

does the rear tail shifter out of a 914 still use the same shift rod/hockey stick as the 911 901 tranny's?

and are the 911/901 tranny's axles the same as the 914 axles and CV's? or are they interchangeable or do they bolt up?

Nope, they are different, I am going to use bus axles on mine once I get the adapters. Right now I am running the stock CV's and axles.

They should, if anything, the CV's would go first. You could always get the ones from Renegade, they handle up to 6 or 700 HP

Aaron, since you got so much time, come by tomorrow and help me get the Chalon on the road. The axles from Renegade are about $700 or so. Not cheap but you wont break them.
