915 clutch

[Wally]

Hi Steve,

There really is no need to remove or shorten the torsion tubes as I have learned in my recent 915 install. Pictures are in this section of the site.

When you remove just the thick piece of steel welded-in plate to where the M10 thread pieces hang from (the ones that you bolt the T1 nose trans mount to), and shove the 915 trans just a few mm's from the torsiontube center, you have the same or even sligthly more clearence at the rear bellhousing of the trans than you had with a type 1 tranny!!

Moving the trans even further to the front of the car, will result is misaligned axles, which may not be a problem (especially if you have long enough axles and bus CV's for instance).

Regards,
Walter
