I have a 73 914 with a 450 hp v8 and have went through 3 transmission and am in the process of putting a 915 in it with a wevo side sift kit installed but I was told that I need to change the gears to work and was hoping that someone out there could help with the proper gears so I don't have to spend money learning which gears work.
thanks, Keith |

To make a 901 last you need to swap out the intermediate plate for an Aluminum one, replace the two Bearings with brass roller retainers, with new bearings that have steel roller retainers. Where the intermediate plate bolts together remove the short studs and replace with thru bolts.
HERE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART Let the gearbox WARM UP. Dont apply full power with a cold gearbox. iIf you do the above a 901 will handle 300hp. |
