Hello Greg,

But that is actually not the case. Certain parts are 915 based, but the gears all have the helix spinning the opposite direction. If you put 915 gears into one of these gearboxes you would be really fast...backwards.

The 915 LSD does fit in it, and I have some of the last NOS motorsports gearsets left in the world for them, but they are far from cheap.

Not trying to kill your sale, just making sure that accurate information is out there and someone doesn't buy it and then get pissed off at you when they can't regear it.

Regards,

Matt
