1983 911sc transmission rebuild
Pretty new to this but have an 83 911sc cab and was just told that I need to have my transmission rebuilt..(and while it is in there that i should replace the clutch). Can anyone give me a ballpark and what I can expect to pay for a quality job? I live in CT.

You want to call Gary Fairbanks in Norwalk CT
The best Porsche gearbox guy on the East Coast. Fair prices and honest.

Very hard to say, as manual transmissions are very expensive to begin with and you do not yet know what needs replacing. A simple teardown could result in much more work than anyone may think.
I think last time I had one looked at the quote was 3500.00 with synchros all around. Ended up doing ti myself.

My P-mechanic Quoted me $500.00 pp to fix my 915.
For 1 syncro and 1 dog teeth set, or whatever. Sounds like a great price. The parts sounded pretty reasonable too. Leakproof.

Less brakes, more gas!

No offense here, but who told you you needed a rebuild? Someone w/ 915 knowledge? If not used to the 915 some people will think its trashed... Do you think you need a rebuild? Might just need a good linkage adjustment... You might also have loose studs in the fork plate. I did and it was a PITA to shift. $15 later I had a new used plate + fork installed. Easy peasy lemon squeezy! Sounds to me like the person telling you you need a rebuild can't do it them selves so you may wish to find a 2nd opinion.
You can not do better than Gary... $3500 for a rebuilt 915 when YOU supply the core! Dude! That's way out of line for a simple re-fresh. So is $500 parts included unless you are talking only 1 synchro in parts. best regards, Michael
