Going back in time to when I did the transmission "refresh" while the engine was out.
My friend Will Pyle from Fairwinds Automotive/Porsche in DE offered to host a 915 trans skill share at his shop. Hanging with him for the day and doing Porsche things was something I couldn't pass over so I made a short trip south.
I have rebuilt quite a few transmissions over the years of differing types, from Ford Model A 3 speeds to full sequential dog boxes but I have never personally had a 915 apart.
After a quick light degreasing of the trans and emptying the oil in preparation to visiting Will I was surprised to see my ROW German market 78 apparently came with a mag case 915 which was interesting.
Also interesting was that it had previously been rebuilt as evidence of a shop's stamping on the case and the general condition of the trans internally. So it really turned into a disassembly, clean (I really need to find a small parts heated spray cabinet!), inspect and reseal thankfully with Will directing and explaining all the components.
Now armed with this knowledge and acquiring the correct tools I do have plans to possibly change up the gear ratios and add a limited slip diff in the future but that will have to wait as I have chassis upgrades as next on my punch list.
