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)

I just had RANCHO build a type I swing axle trans for my 356 coupe for all of the same reasons quoted here. Cost and performance being most important. The trans has all of the go-fast goodies installed plus a combination of type I and II gears for an overdrive fourth WAY beyond their freeway-flyer version. I thought that the shape of the 356 could handle and deserved the higher top speed that a VW trans would offer.

I have an IRS VW (TransForm) freeway-flyer trans in the cellar, now it's definately going into the 914.

THANKS for the push . . . !!
