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!

Thanks everyone for your kind responses and PMs so far.
I've got lucky and been donated a rebuilt 915. I say 'lucky' because of course I now have the whole challenge of 916 conversion. Chris Foley is already helping out with some of the shifter parts, and I plan to go with the 916 conversion from Germany https://www.bugat5speed.de/en/porsche-cars/...for-porsche-914 I'll be sure to keep coming back to the forum here for updates, and when I need to ask for more ideas and guidance... Cheers! |
