I chose the 901 Transmission because it was what I had direct access to at the time. As for the ability of it to handle the STI engine, I expect it not to be too much of an issue. I am not a drag racer, I will never hard launch the car in first. However, I do like to get on it in 3rd so am hoping that the full rebuild I had done on the tranny will help it last for a while. For the start of the project I will be keeping the engine pretty stock but it is still a bunch of poop to push into that trans... I have a pro - racer that specializes in the older porsche gear as my mechanic / tech adviser and he feels strongly that the setup he built for me will handle whatever I toss at it up to about 300+HP... as I see it (today) i don't expect to pass that number for sometime... I am now just waiting on Kennedy to finish my Adapter plate and my machinist to finish my output flanges...
