[Bug@5speed(US)]

As Yetibone, mentioned there are aftermarket intermediate plate, but even with all that, these trans are not really designed for hard launches.. That does not mean they can handle high power, plenty of 914 gents are running V8 power thru them with much success..

It comes down to shock loading..

If you would like more info also 914world, 914club and pelican are a few places that are friendly..

BTW 750 for a trashed gearbox seems a little high.. check the above forums you should be able to do better..

Also what motor combo are you looking at running thru here type I, type IV, Suby or other? As well as what is your intent.. race, drag, autoX, steet.. that may help us provide better info as to whether is is a good match for your bug
