I would like to pick your brains with a question.. perhaps stupid but "if one does not ask, one will never learn".
I have a 1966 911 with a 901 transmission which I recently busted (sheared input shaft) trying to impress the wife with how fast I could take off in my 911! as far I can tell She is still laughing!!
I my search for a replacement 901 . I have got my hands on a 914 5 speed transmission and a 902/0 4 speed 911 transmission.
Now here is the $1000 question..
I believe the 914 transmission core is the same as the 901 type..
( Am I wrong here? )
now.. could I take the 914 guts and transplant them to the 902/0 transmission thus making it a 5 speed transmission???
I want to hear your expert comments even if it is to call me names. !!
PS
In case some of you are wondering why I don't repair the original transmission..? well I am going to.. once a find a replacement transmission I am planning to do a complete overhaul and keep it as a spare .
Thanks
