I apologize, for I'm sure this has been covered. I searched, and just couldn't find the answer

When I bought my 74 2.0 5 years ago, the seller said it had a 915. Now that I know that the 915 was not the factory tranny, I'd like to confirm that I indeed have a 915.

Are there outward characteristics? Is the shift pattern unique? My tranny has reverse at top left, and first at bottom left. 2 - 5 are in the H pattern.

Thanks

well the shift pattern is no different than a 901.....dont know anythin else

wrong.

the 915 in my 911 has reverse to the far right and down. 1st is far left and up..2nd straight down...etc etc. Sounds like you have a 901.

huh? so he has a 901 then?

Upgrading to a 915 in a 914 is like a $5K+ project. The ring and pinion needs to be flipped and then you need special linkage (Wevo kit, Vellios kit, or something home made). There's really no reason to put a 915 into a stock '74 2.0L. The gearing would be a bit too tall as well.

Thanks. I knew the shift pattern would tell the tale, just didn't know the details.

Yep it's a 901, with a first gear that is not very grindular at all.

I'm quite happy with the tranny, just wanted to know what I got.

Put a V8 in the car, and do lots of burnouts in first gear. If it breaks - it's a 901.

And if second gear breaks, it's a 915 ............... The Cap'n
