out date clutch release bearing

[roadsportusa]

I have a 2.7 engine with a 915 clutch assembly and release bearing installed.
will be using a 901 trans and release bearing on this 915 pressure plate.
question
can I remove the 915 release bearing and use the 901 clutch release bearing and fork with the 901 tran with a 915 pressure plate ????

No. The 901 is a push clutch, 915 is a pull style. A 70/71 type 911 trans is basically a 901 that is set up to use a pull style 915 clutch. Different fork and cable setup. Maybe that's what you need.

What year trans? A '70-'71 trans will work with a 915 pressure plate. A '69 and older trans used a different flywheel and PP than the 915.

BTW, the '70-'71 trans requires a unique clutch disc as well as the throw out bearing, cable, and release arm.

the 901 is out of a 1968 911S. so I will need to change flywheel, pressure plate, clutch, and throw out bearing and fork???
can I use a 2L flywheel and cutch out of a 914 , 1973??

Yes, you really need to change everything. The 914 clutch is essentially the same as the early 2.0 911 clutch except for lower clamping force.

I give up. going to buy a 915 trans.
