How Far With The 901

Hello, I little history on why I choose the 901. I didn't know that the 901 first gear location/arrangement made for a weakend
gear box. This is what I have heard, however compared to a Berg five speed conversion; cost and mods drove me away. I then started getting parts to build my own freeway flyer transmission. I bought a Rhino case, had it gusseted. I was about to buy the 3.44 ring and pinion , when I learned that the 3.44 r&p would conflict with my Quaife diff. In all of this, all I wanted was a strong transmission capable some burnouts and freeyway mode. Because I have three Super Beetles, I don't see any waste yet, just a lot of BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD. Back to the topic at hand, I forget if I bought the trans from an Pelican parts member or not, from what I see; the transmission is in very good condition. However, since then I moded the nose cone and removed the speedo. So far I made the mounts, strength and low noise. Now I need to start back on it. My pictures are to large to upload.
