915 gearbox

[Bugat5speed]

Hi Wally,

if it only was a joke then sorry for over-reacting.

The installation looks nice. Found out now, why you did not have any space problems. 1st is, that the bellhousing is sitting 5-6 mm to the rear of the car (compared to a standard 1303 tranny bellhousing). 2nd is, that it seems to me, that your gearbox is sitting lower than the original one. Thought so when I saw the size of the clearance between the chassis arms and the axle flanges. I think the tranny is sitting 6-8 mm lower than originally. Seems that you made the holes in the traverse a little oval and by this lowered the whole unit. By this the exhaust is more distant from the back of the car than usually. The same with the top of the nose cone in the front of the unit.
Anyway nice work that you made there.

Good luck with it furthermore.
If you need assistance with revising the gearbox, then please call me.

Cheers Martin
