Hey all.
I am back from my vacation and starting to worry about my project again! How hard is it to put a 915 transmition into a 914??? Is the bolt pattern to the enginr the same?? Do I need different drive shafts?? Shift linkage?? Mr simpson hybrids seems to have a lot of parts for the conversion...???? How much would I need to spend on a 915??? Thanks in advance, Fiid (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif) |

In order:
Not hard. Bolt pattern is identical. Drive shaft length is the same (depends on what diff you have on the axles) many choices out there. Mr. Simpson sells a crappy linkage solution. Run. I buy known good late model 915's for around 1200$ The later 78 and up are aluminum cased and the early ones are MAG. A decent mag tranny can be had for 500$. It will run you approx. 5k to have a 915 done correctly for your car (NO limited slip unless your core tranny has one in it already). This doesnt inlcude a clutch solution. IF you stick with the 901 and re-gear it... you still only have a 4 speed for what you are doing and it will run you 3k with no LSD. The 915 is my choice... but be prepared to pay for longevity and better gearing. B |

What would I need to have done to the gearing??
Is the power band different enough between the 911 motors and the Subaru that it would need significant regearing work?? Perhaps I could run it stock for a while and then adjust it when I have a better idea of what I want. Thanks, Fiid. |
