ok, now *i* have a stupid question ...

what if i have 911 hubs that fit the 914 wheel bearing and i use 911 stubaxles and halfshafts and change the drive flanges on the transmission to 75-76 911,
whouldn't that work just fine ???

Andy

911 axles are shorter so that would be an issue. If the splines for the 911 out put flanges are coarse, those will work.

Only if the c/v's are 100mm and the 911 axles are supposed to be too short anyway. The earlier 108's require the earlier stubs and output flanges. With Cays config the 944 c/v's have the 914 (VW) spline and you could use the 914 axle shafts.

shorter as in "too short" or shorter as in "shorter, but still OK" ???

the axles moves quite a bit left/right, so how short is too short ???

i thought I read that if you remove the clip, they can the shorter axles as is, you just have to remember that when you jack the car up or remove the transmission

Well, I called Scott at Renegade today to see if he would sell me just the adapters. The adapters are for the bus axles. He said they only sell the complete kits now. I told him I thought $780 was a little high and he said to buy them through him. He sells them for $599. all day long. So in my opinion, that is the way to go. Everything is brand new and will handle 500 horse with no problems. Now I just need to save up my pennies so I can get a set. Then I will feel comfortable driving my car the way it was built.

Scott what tranny did you upgrade to?

You don't have to change the axle shaft if you use the 944 axles. The 944 and 914 axle shafts are the exact same length.

If you are a cheap bastard, you can buy a 944 stub axle and one CV joint, and put it on the 914 /4 axle. Then use the 914 inner CV and drive flange.

If you want to do it right, use the 944 axle complete, and the 75-76 911 transmission drive flanges.

Oh, and using a 911 axle is asking for a failure. They will bolt up, but if you EVER hit full droop or full compression you WILL bind the CV joint and damage it.

Then you will be out the cost of the 911 axle parts, and your 914 will be back home on the jackstands.

so let me get this straight (from transmissoun - out)

coarse spline 915 output shafts -> 944 axle -> 944 Stub -> pre 74 911 hubs?

Exactly. Just make sure that the 915 axle flanges are the same bolt pattern as the 944 CV, and you are done.


Simple, No?

How hard is it to find used 915 coarse splined output flanges? Where? How much?

That would depend. You can probably find them at a swap meet. I had it easy, I found them in a used parts bin at the local P-car parts supplier. I just asked the owner, and he said "I got them back here" and we went and picked them up.


Put an add on the bird board in the 911 classifieds. They should be able to hook you up.

I tried this combination yesterday with the 944 hubs. Too long to just "bolt right in" so I must have something wrong or this is just bad information.

Output shafts..check
944 axles & stubs & hubs from a 1987..check

This thread is from 2005. A lot of new information has since come up. There are a few newer threads about the subject.

I'm currently running 944 CV's on machined stock 914-4 axles using 911 stubbies and 911 hubs.

Thanks Andy.

I proposed the 944 hub question on your thread.

It's been a long time so i don't remember all the details, but i do remember that i looked into using a 944 hub and decided against it.

I noticed that the 944 hub has a hub-centric center to it.

I dont think this will work with 914-6 rotors?





Maybe that is why.

On a side note, I am glad I did not put new bearings in during this initial test fit.
