Currently have a 915 transmission with 3.6 varioram motor. It's very balky and I'd like to switch back to the original G50. The bell housing took a big hit in a track mishap when they were in a 911. The motor is now in a 914 and I miss the G50. Stan at GBox has offered to fabricate a new bell housing and add GT3RS third, fourth and fifth gears. Has anyone made this conversion? My mechanic is wondering about what pedal cluster to use. Any recommendations appreciated. TIA.

It has to be upside down if you want multiple forward gears and only one reverse. Kit car people do it fairly often.

It has to be upside down if you want multiple forward gears and only one reverse. Kit car people do it fairly often. It does get machined and flipped. It is true, they use this set-up with kit cars. My question has to do with applications in the 914. I know there are no chassis fit problems. I'm wondering about pedal cluster requirements and height changes/motor position and alignment. Also functionality. Although I'm not happy with the 915 currently in the car, I could "get used to it" and deal, but it's not a G50, and if the conversion can be achievable, I'm willing to work it out. I'm hoping someone else has done it and has insight into the advisability of making the change |
