I'm looking for some pics of 915 transmissions installed in 914-6 with the 915 trans cooler in place.
Is there sufficient room between the cooling tubes and the 914-6 headers? Can the cooling tubing be bent to clear the headers? Please post pics if you have them. Thanks |

John,
I had thought about that years ago. When I mention it to George Vellos when he was building my tran, he mention that once you flip the ring gear - you render the pump useless. Was George wrong? Anyone want to chim in? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif) |

i have such a transmissionm a 915/67. not installed yet - it is intended for the 911. i can take whatever photographs or measurements you'd like.
the cooler loop is *very* soft, ribbed brass or aluminum; i think you could bend it pretty much any way you liked. it fits to the transmission with O-ring seals and i think it'd be "almost" trivial to use real fittings to run hose to a proper radiator-style cooler mounted anywhere. here it is mounted in a 911 - it's over that duct/rockshield top center left.

the parts are in the ETKA but it is very hard to find them. i don't even know how i got there - i can't find my way back. it's possible the computer at work thinks it's in Europe since the 915.67 was a Euro only option. i did print out the picture and all the part numbers, 'cause i wasn't sure how i'd find my way back again through the twisty maze of passages all alike.
it's 911 84 MG 3 SG 02 illustration 302.01 if you're keen to look for it... does look like it'd be a challenge. looks like the drive gear bolts to the back of the diff carrier - which would then be on the wrong side - the side that doesn't have the removable side cover onto which the oil pump mounts... *maybe* you could drill the case for the gear-driven pump driveshaft but i doubt there'd be room for the drive gear on that side... looks quite the challenge. i s'pose you oculd invert the transmission - but the gear-driven pump expects to be the lowest point in the case and uses simple gravity-feed... do you have a Plan 'B' ? unless you're referring to the very early RS/RSR transmissions with the pump in the nose cone... |

Yes, that is exactly what I'm refering to.
The trans is a 915/72 73F05822 Euro/ROW (w/cooler) 1985 Limited Slip Plan "B" would be to delete the cooler and plug the holes. Plan "C" would be to find a trans without the pump and cooler. It looks as if the pump is installed on the side cover so perhaps a US side cover would work to replace the pump? I assume I can simply plug the hole in the trans case (return from cooler) PS. what is ETKA |

sorry - it's probably better known here as "PET" -- the electronic parts catalog. i have tried for an hour to figure how i got to the page with the oil pump picture and parts list so i could post it here, but it is fighting me at every turn. glad i printed it, or i might be wondering if i had simply imagined it! worst-case - i'll scan the sucker... i don't see why a US side cover wouldn't fit -- unless - it doesn't have room for the drive gear... |

I have an exploded diagram of the pump in the Carrera Workshop manual, so I know how it goes together, and basically how it operates off of an auxilary gear mounted on the Differental (ring gear side). I have not checked out PET yet.
Does anyone have a US 1984 or 1985 915 side cover to trade for the parts with the pump? I'll even throw in the cooler coil. Must be in excellent condition. PM me. |
