69T,
Welcome to the Forum. You will find much good advice here.
First, what is wrong with your ’69 transmission?
What is your intended use for your 911 – daily, occasional, track events, other?
What is the 911’s history?
Look under the differential area and report the S/N and transmission type.
The transmissions ’69 and ’71 share similar internals but are not directly interchangeable. As you noticed, it is the clutch actuating mechanism that is the significant difference. Unless you are willing to go to a
lot of work, you are best served rebuilding your original ’69 transmission.
One of the other differences is gearing. The ’69 has gear ratios that are far more fun and easy to drive. Post the numbers from both transmissions and we can probably tell you what you have.
Again, welcome. Please post some images of your 911 and the 901 & 911 transmissions. Gather the information before you do
anything.
Best,
Grady
