915 question?

Then you were really, really lucky, as most late 915's have 110mm flanges/CV's and the 100mm 944 CV don't go with that.

Wally, I thought it was kind of strange too. The axles are marked '87 944S, but may be wrong (written with paint marker from salvage yard) I had one of the axles with me when I went to pick up the tranny, and the CV bolt holes matched the 915's.

I looked at my axles again today, and noticed that they are marked 944 S2 (not 944 S). This maybe why they bolt to the 915 flanges.

I'm sending my 915 flanges and stub axles off to precision alloy to be converted to 930. I modified my dune buggy Jamar shifter to work with the tranny. The 915 has such a short throw and shaft rotation the Jamar shifter has a lot of throw to spare!
