Well...….. long story short I came across another factory limited slip transmission just by pure dumb luck. Picked up a very rusty & crusty 72 a few weeks ago and as I was done loading 914 & parts up the guy said he has another transmission I could have if I wanted otherwise he was going to scrap it. It's a tail shifter, but hey parts is parts. I get home unload everything and well forget about the big stuff while I work on sorting the smalls and putting stuff away.
Fast forward to today. Doing yard work when a friend stops by to chat 914s. While we are talking I just happen to glance over to where the transmission is on a dolly and notice a tag on it.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) No way, it can't be a LSD. I turn the output flang and both turn in the same direction so flip it over, yep serial number starts out HB002xxxx In all my years of selling parts & cars this is only the 2nd time I have ever came across a LSD. The first was back in 2012 on another plain jane 72. You can read about that by clicking ---->>>> HERE Not sure what I will do with this one yet. The last was sold to a racer in CA. Here are some pics. Attached image(s) |
