QUOTE(Jeff Bowlsby @ Apr 28 2015, 10:50 AM)  The 914 Grasshopper had a COA with the tranny # on it. I simply told PCNA what it was and they put it on the COA. That was then. GRASSHOPPER?! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) This goes with what I've said before regarding COA's... the more "homework" you do for them, the better the results are. It's absurd, since you're paying them to do the work, yet the results are garbage unless you do it for them. You end up doing the work & paying for it as well; Porsche should address this ASAP, or stop offering COA's. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |

FWIW, my real Six transmission number last 4 digits are identical to the Karman 'trunk' number.

Still, the factory needs to "supervise" PCA more. |

This wasn't the case years back but again because people were alegedly (most likely) faking engine numbers, they changed their policy. |

'69 911S , yes
'70 914 6, no And, as noted elsewhere, trans numbers on 914s' and 914 6s' are usually within a few numbers of the chassis number. And sometimes a match. Also, if a car is ordered with a factory ltd. slip diff, it is more likely to be recorded. |

nope - 9140430919 - "not recorded"
QUOTE(r_towle @ Apr 27 2015, 08:00 PM) Maybe it's possible that the 914/6 listed the transmission because they are unique to the 914/6 cars. The /4 trannies are the same across the three engine lines, well the gearing is at least. |

My 69 S has the trans number recorded on the COA.
However, it was an ordered car with a long list of options. The COA is from February, 2013 The 914 6 that I've owned since 1984 had no transmission number noted according to a letter I received from Porsche AG (via AirMail !) in 1984. Holy Cow, I'm gettin' old !.......... Just see now that I responded to this thread in April |
