Berg 5spd or Porsche tranny?

[NYBugman1972]

From what I gather, the Berg 5 is a great unit. Totally customizable gearing and an LSD option. However, it's expensive and there is modification that has to be done to fit it. The 901 is considerably less expensive (got mine for $250) and it a great way to get a 5th gear if you're not concerned too much with gearing (competition). However, there are a bunch of ratios that the 901 came with and there aren't many with a factory LSD. So, if you want to install custom gears and/or an LSD, you are back in Berg territory. Also, there is still modification to be done to fit it.

I bought a 901 because my father installed one in hig Ghia back in the day (nostalgia + performance) and because it was a good price.

That's the way I see it, but I'm not an expert in trannys by any stretch of the imagination.
