Any backround info on this trans appreciated
But more specifically Q. Does gearing or gear ratio determine the cars Speed, combined with rpm no matter what engine Power you have Q. With a more poweerful then stock engine how does that Affect my cruise rpm Q. What is stock 5th gear good up to 90mph ? Q. Never down shift to 2nd gear right Do not abuse 1st Q. If money was no object what trans would be ideal for a 914 Shout out to the cheap sob |

In my experience, it takes a lot of power to get a 914 over about 140 mph.
A 915 is much better than a 901 and shifts much better. A G50 would probably be amazing as well. |
