Hi,

My 901 tranny is stamped on the bottom 902/01 it came out of a 67 912, it has an all aluminum case and intermediate plate and is five speed. They look a little different because they dont have the ribs on the outside like the magnesium cases do, that feature also lets it fit nicer between the horns and requires almost no cutting, only a little trimming.

The neat thing about his tranny is the gearing, Though my top speed is limited I can get there quicker and its great for curvy roads, geared for the 4 cylinder super 90 engine, it has close gears like an 84 gti and it lets me cruise at 3500-4000 rpm in fifth. The one thing that is not properly matched on my ghia is the turbo, because when I hit top gear boost happens and I cant use it, so I plan on getting a smaller ar on my exhaust housing, maybe a t3/t4 hybrid turbo.

The shift pattern is akward and is sometimes difficult for me to get used to, I think if I did the conversion again I would use a 915 and put a 911 3.0L in my ghia, only because when I park my 911 sc and hop in my ghia I need to shift my brain into 901 mode(anoying)
