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 |

I have the 915 gearbox w/Wevo sideshift and internal Wevo gateshift with a high power 993 engine. It really works quite well. Transaxle Engineering in North LA will flip the ring and pinion and freshen the box very inexpensively.
I have a friend who runs the 930 in a 914 TT. You have to cut the trunk if you turn the 930 gearbox upside down. Also, you have to run a cable shifter. He will tell you that the 915 with Wevo is a better way to go. Hope this helps. P.S. Drive the car before deciding on the gear change. I geared my car for the local tracks in Arizona. |
