Hi gang, I just bought a 914-6 recreation and the previous owner had the transmission
Flipped, So I guess the cable does not reach. So what has been your experience with
Making it work. I hear there is a GPS version that looks pricey. Thank you for the help.
I feel like I'm speeding to much.
I live in Santa Rosa CA. I see that there are 914 guys in Petaluma.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) It looks like a 915 with a Vellios kit installed if that's the trans/engine pic you posted. It may require a electronic speedo and associated hardware to make it all work.
The 915's with the electric speedo had a sensor mounted on the side cover.
Take a better pic of that and post it here to confirm.

I'm one of the folks in Petaluma. I'm helping another Santa Rosa 914 owner with some work on his car, probably this weekend. Please feel free to swing by and meet a couple locals, if you can make it. PM me and we can connect to coordinate details.

And I'd LOVE to see your car! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Given that your car has a Carrera 3.2 engine it's very likely the trans is a later 915.
That's the good news.
The bad news is the diff is flipped..... putting the magnetic sensor disc for the speedo on the other
side of the case.
I see some fancy welding and fabrication in your future to run a OEM speedo.

Yep that's the one,always wondered about flipping a 915,presume it works obviously with no lubrication issues otherwise someone would have only done it once (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) .
Seemed to remember there is a kit that mounts above CV with a optical sensor and trigger wheel however think I saw it on Pelican and it was for a 911.
Crazy looking car with those huge flares......

They flipped the diff, not the entire trans.

You can get a 911 electronic speedo and a box from autometer to drive it. It looks stock, and doesn't change if you change tire size.

Directions are here.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) so much easier than driving off the trans.

Thank you for all the replies! Yes I think I'll look into the electronic speedo and the pickup unit. The flares are off a 930 and the front and rear valences are hand made by a guy named Joe George. It does have a 915 trans with a Vellios kit. Attached Image Attached ImageAttached Image Attached Image
