914 newbie
Hey all, I'll hopefully be the owner of a 914 sometime in the near future and have buried myself in tech articles to try and learn as much as possible before I purchase one. My biggest concern is with the common tranny problems. Are there any swaps that are not insanely expensive, and dare I suggest with something non-porsche/vw. I'm looking for something beefy that can handle a speed junkie.

Any "... common tranny problems" with the 914-901 tranny can be dealt with, and not require any exotic swaps.
The closest consideration is the 911-915 tranny (requiring it be "flipped" and VERY not cheap). And the 911-G50? Fugetaboutit (read: ka-CHING$$$). I'm not aware of any "... non-Porsche/VW" related solutions, short of swapping the whole powertrain over to nuclear propulsion (hummm ...). The 914 has all its own set of quirks, but don't let the tranny ones scare you. They're the lesser of the few evils. |
