915 is too short to use as a search term so i'll just ask...
What is the vehicle speed at redline in each gear for a 915 on a T4 with standard tires/wheels(205/50/15 or close). How much taller are the gears compared to a 901. Is the shift pattern that of a typical 5 speed where 1st is top left? What are the key benefits of upgrading to the 915 on a near stock T4 2.0L. Thanks |

I think the better shifting part is only true if the conversion is done right.$$$ Better gearing for higher top speed? Hmmm, I think the 901 for the 4 has the tallest gearing and that you just run out of revs and hp at 6000 while a six can go to 7000 rpms. The six boxes are geared different so the engine revs higher to keep the fan speed up at crusing.
Hey, if the car you are looking at has the 915 great, its not a big plus without a hp six. Maybe a good car to convert! or sell the tranny out of. Most 901 grind because people don't adjust the clutch enough and trash the syncho's plus they usually have 200k+ on them. Geoff |
