Thought of an interesting topic---has anybody put a beefed up bus or t1 trans in the teener----

I loved the gear spacing on my old superbug--and first gear for my car,,well,,,sucks ass--and second is too tall for a good start off--

Would rather spend 650 bucks on a pro-streeter WITH a rhino case and super diff than thousands upgrading my 901--

Sand rail mid engine cable shifter should be able to be adapted rather easily and the trans install is a non-event...

What you think???? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

What are each of the "net" ratios (1 thru 4 x final drive ratio)? I seem to recall that you can't get a tall enough 4th/R&P combo, as most applications are either for very tall tires and/or drag race applications. Can you point me to info on available ratio's that would perhaps suit higher HP motors? You will need about a 3.00:1 "net" ratio or better. The 901 is 3.14:1, a 915 is 2.94:1, and a 944T (016R) is 2.80:1..........Thanks, Andy

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) yea thats easy--go to CB's website--they do tranny's too and list all the gearsets and final drives-----basically if you want a 3.88 R&P AND a stockish .85 fourth--you can have 1500 rpms at 70 mph--the ratios are mind boggling--the T1 guys have something close to 200+ different combos and each gear is about 35-75 bucks!!! You simply tell them your tire diameter and what kind of driving you do and what you expect and all the T1 tanny people take it from there....

Also look at rancho transaxles--they are one of the T1 industries leaders---there is another one made called a Mendeola 4 spd--this is good for 800 hp $$$$

About 3 years ago hot vws mag came out with an issue listing all the T1 hipo trannies and the makers--ungodly!!! Whatever you want--you can have......
