Hi,
If you do 915's...you must do the 930 as well...correct? I have a pretty fresh 930 box with less than 5000 miles. While setting up the cable shifter and clutch, I managed to burn the 3rd gear synchro a bit. It isn't terrible...but it is annoying when it grinds going into third. If all you do is replace the 3rd gear synchro...how much should that cost (assuming everything else is unmolested)? Thanks, Bill |

I can do the 930, yes. The amount of work it takes to extract 3rd and change the teeth only is less than a full rebuild so I can charge less. I'll PM you and we can discuss it.

I have a transmission in a garage in Indianapolis, but I'm in Texas. How much would it cost for you to go to my house in Indianapolis, look at the two transmissions that are there, then pick the best one, take it home with you and then rebuild it, clean it, and make it work in my 3.2 project?

Well, I am almost a doctor so you would be paying 3/4 of the doctors fees + specialist fees + mileage + time + food and lodging + hookers + clean up....etc.
I figure $1,000,000 ought to cover it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

sweet! count me in...I'll have my sister leave a check for you on the front porch. Just look under the mat!
Seriously, I'll be home for a few days in Sept. I'd love to send you a tranny to get super-sussed. I've got the original tail shifter from my 72 and an unknown side shifter that I got from Craig when I bought the car. |

Right on, send it to me when ever you are ready. If it weighs more than 100#, Greyhound may not take it, though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Just strip all of the unnecessary parts off of it like the pully housing, throw out bearing, etc. This usually gets it to about 99# (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I had a '75 914 2.0 when I was in college in the 80's. I loved it and periodically I think about getting another POS 914, I mean Porsche 914, again. It really was love-hate, with all it's maintenance. Anyway, I found you through Camp 914. My problem is not with a 914 but a BMW. I have a manual '98 528. The tranny is bad, but driveable. Do you, or do you know someone like yourself of good repute that can rebuild one of these? I'm looking at $2,500 for a BMW factory rebuilt, which is actually a very good price. Dealers are desparate and are discounting factory parts greater than before. But you rebuild a 914 tranny for $500 and you have a loyal following. So I thought I'd ask of whom I might inquire.

I wish I knew someone, but I am pretty specific to Porsche gear boxes. There is a possibility I could do it for you, but it would not be a quick job as I would need to do some research first to see how exotic the box is. If it is not very unique, and I can find internal parts for ya, it would not take too long. PM me if ya wanna talk about that option (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Dr. Do you have a bell-crank rod (just the rod) that threads into my 914-6 intermediate plate?

I'll see if I have one. You didnt have one with your box, did you? I would have removed it and taped it to the box if you had one.

Got any sources for them? Are they available at a Porsche Dealer or should I put a WTB ad on Pelican (I'm assuming the the rod is the same from a 911 to 914-6)

They are not hard to get last I checked, but I made one when I needed one for my car. Long bolt, cut off the head and drilled a hole for a cotter pin (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Hi Mike,
I just drove my newly minted 1974 914-6 (3.2) for the first time yesterday, and now I have to get the interior installed. I'd like to budget for a rebuild of my '74 901 side shifter. My question is can you change the gearing so that I can continue to use it as a 5 speed rather than as a 4 speed starting in 2nd gear? I am a parts collector, and recently bought a 914-6 5th gear that Captain Crusty had for sale, so if that was a good purchase I've got that on hand already. BTW, the CV Joint bolt sets I bought from you sometime back were an easy install and look good. Mike Knox |
