Packaging a Porsche transmission for shipment.

We will do this for the 901/911 but the same principals apply to
915, G50, and others. The basic principal is to mount the
transmission as if it were in a car. It should be supported
by its mounts and attachment points.

Great care must be taken to prevent damage to the shift rod and
the input shaft. In the illustration I have two 2x4s bolted to the
engine mating surface using the mounting holes in the
transmission. Not shown is a piece between them to protect the
input shaft. Similarly the shift rod needs substantial protection
as shown. This piece should extend to the right under the
transmission as far as possible.

All of this should be securely strapped to a palate and a wood
cover box put over the transmission. It should be strong enough
to support everything if it gets tipped over. Finished
transmissions should be wrapped in plastic. The outside should
declare “Used Auto Parts” and “Contains No Lubricants.” All of
the oil should be well drained. The transmission should have a
wire baggage tag with the S/N and owner information attached
to an axle flange. Any other parts should be boxed and securely
attached to the palate.

Truck is usually the cheapest transport.
Pack it for shipment even if you just put it in the back
of a pickup or in a trailer.

Grady- You are Mr. Organized. You are a great benefit to posting on this board.
We may be getting ahead of ourselves because I do not know if Brian even wants to do this (unless he contacted you). It was just a mere suggestion on my part. I have not heard anything from him about it.
However, if he does want to make his "S" original, I would be willing to sell the parts I have. The R&P is in great shape also. 1st gear sliders were bad. 2nd gear looks "ok". The rest were pretty good. FYI- I forgot I also burglurized the shift rods for the 1970 tranny for my race tranny.
I will get the numbers off the tranny. It still does have the paper gaskets on it.

Grady,

This sounds like an offer to good to pass up. Can I contact you tomorrow for additional details?

Brian,

I’ll be out most of tomorrow (Thursday) with the docs. Friday will be getting ready to go to the DE at Pueblo but some Pelican. Saturday and Sunday DE, Monday to recover on Pelican. I’ll work on thinking this through.

You and Chad should discuss the parts price and getting them to Denver. It won’t take long to figure out what is needed and if that is the best way to go.

Best,
Grady

Here are the numbers off the tranny- 911/01, 7102650
Its a winner.

7102650

7 = Transmission for 6-cylinder engine.
1 = 5-speed, standard ratio.
0 = Model year 1970.
2650 = Sequential number.

It looks like the original range was from 7100001 to 7109999. They made more than 10K so there is an addioional range for '70 from 7700001 to 7702730. If this is accurate, that would make the total production of '70 5-speed 911/01 be 12,730 transmissions. It looks like there also were 691 4-speed 911/00 transmissions. Trivia of the day.
