A kick in the box, Desperately seeking 901/914 transmission and/or parts Options

[23e Heure]

The box in my GT is sick... second gear lost two teeth, and the debris ran through all the bearings.

We now have the box dismantled, and the parts list needed to rebuild it is scary.
Almost all of the bearings, a new input shaft, new 1st and 2nd gears... :shock:
It doesn't help that it has - and will have again - custom (longer) ratios, and a 904 input shaft.

I am therefore looking for all and any options to rebuild the existing box, and/or buy a good used one to use as a starting point.

If you have gearbox parts, or a box to sell, please let me know!

there are hundreds of used 914 transmissions easily available cheap but all of questionable character. The rebuild parts are very expensive, the labor to do it reasonable. SO a quandary. We used to take one gearbox apart to repair another because long ago we had many many many low mile gearboxes out of hard crashed 914s.

Most of the time it is the dog teeth and sliders that are bad, so finding good used ones is not easy. With all of that said, if you have your original transmission, I would work with it and buy the syncros and sliders and dog teeth new and anything else (even bearings) used
