o.k. folks, here's my question:
could an original 914-6 transmission with the factory option M220 (limited slip differential) be identified by the transmission number ??? I know the difference at the 914-4 transmission: HAxxxxx ... 5 speed standard HBxxxxx ... 5 speed LSD any input is highly appreceated (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) Gustl |

According to the factory parts manual, the answer is maybe....
1. A 914-6 tranny has a part number of 914.300.012.03 with the -6 gear ratios inside. All trannys for a 914-6 would be drawn from that supply during a factory build. For some reason, the parts book has a column called denomination which has another number for a 914-6 "transmission complete" of 914.300/01 2. The LSD was an option. The parts book has a series of columns labeled "Stuck pro Typ" and it says that the LSD was for "Alle" except the sportomatic. 3. To the left of the "Stuck pro Typ" columns is a column called "Symbol" and under that collumn is the symbol "M". That must be how the factory differentiated "alle" transmissions with the LSD. Now why the Symbol "M" is used by the factory to identify the LSD, and why the factory used the stamped HBxxxxx designation for the change is a mystery. Has anyone checked a factory built LSD transmission for the symbol "M"???? Ken |
