I've been planning on doing a 6 conversion on my 914, whenever I can find the time to start. Right now I'm looking at next spring (finger cross smilie). I was at my former bosses Tues. setting aside all of my engine pieces so he doesn't use them (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) and wanted to find out from you guys that have done this what tranny you used and what you had to do to convert it. I have any (66-83) 911 tranny available, as well as 924,944 and there MAY still be a 928 laying around (we had a storage building broken into 2 years ago and they got away with the 928 engine). Obviously the 911 would be the most logical but I'm curious about the others being used. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif)

Any 911 trans will work....but they turn the wrong way....either flip the ring gear...run the trans upside down or use a 914 trans...
Mounts and mods are needed for the 911 trans that are 915 and above....ya need to be a bit more specific on HP and such.... |

I'm figuring on a 911 trans and assumed the ring gear would be flipped. How about the linkage (clutch and shift) I HAD a set of 3.0 euro sc pistons set aside that he either moved or sold, so right now it is a 2.7S. I made sure he knew not to let them go. E cams, carbs,clean up and match the ports, nothing to radical. I'll be looking at around 210h.p. Depends on how deep my pockets are when I do it!

A stock 901/914 trans can handle that....

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) Don't waste your money. Stick with the stock 914/901 trans in this case. just don't go dumping the clutch in 1st gear,,,,,much. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |

Or else keep a supply of them. I had a 230+ hp 3.0/6 that I dumped the clutch on all the time.....hey it was fun, paid for and I didn't care.....tossed the cookies only once. Pulled it out, slammed the LSD into another box and was on my way again.

use a 70-71 911 case and a 225mm clutch and standard 914 gear set. Reverse pull and bigger clutch in case HP goes up.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) That's what I'm using. Mine's a 911/02. These are the final two model year 901 style tranny's that have a pull type clutch mechanism. In 72 they (911's) switched to 915 tranny's.
I haven't performed the conversion yet but I've got a sideshifter for the parts needed (nose cone, shift rods etc.) |
