I'm considering putting a limited-slip differential in the 901 transmission in my 914/6. How hard is this to do? Is this just a slip-in, or are there some tricky procedures here - like setting the pinion backlash?

I looked into doing this myself...
I asked alot of tranny experts and got the same answer...and I asked the guys the were not looking for my business. Each case is different...therefore you need to put in thrust washers to align the ring and pinion and get the correct backlash. This requires a special tool. The tool cost quite a bit. This process is best left to a pro. There are a few guys in the states, one here on the east coast, one in colorado, and probably more than one inCA. Send it to them, its an assemble, measure, dissassemble...new shims,,do it again.. So, send it to a pro. Rich |
