I finally looked up the VIN to my 911 transmission... turns out i have a 1969-1970 911 transmission from a porsche 911E.
R&P ---- 7:31 (4.429)
1st ----- 11:34 (3.091)
2nd----- 18:32 (1.778)
3rd ----- 23:28 (1.217)
4rd ----- 27:25 (0.9259)
5th ----- 29:22 (0.7586)
What do I have going here? I don't really know what to make of these gear ratios. Could someone help me out?
Also, I drained the gear oil from it a few days ago and checked out the magnetic drain plug, it had a good amount of gunky black oil stuff, but only one or two little metal flakes. The transmission had been stored for probably 20 years in a garage. Can anyone give me an estimate of what condition you think it may be in?
Also, the transmission has the eyelet for the clutch cable, and Alex from Bug@5speed says that I need to cut the eyelet off and then plug it with an automotive plug. Is this what everyone is doing? Man, I really don't want to cut a hole in the side of this transmission.
