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.

The back half from intermediate plate to bell housing are the same for 914 family and the late 901 box,
Except for material mag bs alu. Depending on Year

The bellhousing has two flat spot where the trans mount gets bolted on.

No need to grind flat just drill four holes for your mounts and attach this to the metal traverse

If I don't make sense email me and we can set up phone con

Speedo gear is out, reverse shaft transferred, andshort nose cone is basically on... set the tranny on the frame horns... Am I going to have to take a contoured cut out of the frame horns for the cv flanges to fit? I see some people just trimming the horns and others making considerable modification to the horns. Also, the bowden cable eyelet is definately interfering with the frame horns as well. this will need to be cut off... It needs to be plugged afterwards or can I just trim it off?

What is the best way to remove the factory tar board?

and.....


Got some work done on the pan... I originally wasn't going to POR15 the panhead and center tunnel, but some stripper found its way over there anyway.

I used the POR15 products, marine clean and metal ready.

Metal ready is supposed to neutralize the rust and I can just POR15 over it.

Would it be better to grind the rust off?

With POR, the coarser the surface the better, too smooth and it peels off. As long as the rust is not flaking and is just surface then I'd leave it as that gives the best key.

The tar board material comes off easy with a heat gun and scraper.

Thanks... Tar board is now removed.

I'm starting prepping the trans for install and have a few questions.

1) How are you dealing with the bowden tube eyelet on the differential side plate? I have the bug@5speed adapter plate, but it requires cutting the eyelet off and plugging the resulting hole off. Any ways around cutting the eyelet off?
2) I don't see why cutting the eyelet off will result in a hole? Isn't it solid metal beneath the eyelet?

I'm going to start getting the trans ready for installation now, but I have some concerns:

1) Side plate bowden eyelet
-I have the bug@5speed adapter plate, but it apparently requires removal of the eyelet which results in a hole in your side plate. I don't see why cutting the eyelet off yields a hole through the plate, is the eyelet not solid aluminum? Any other good bowden cable/bracket routing methods out there?

I'm thinking about buying these, but want to make sure they are the right size.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Porsc...Q5fAccessories

I have the bug@5speed flanges and will locate some 944 stub axles. Anything wrong with this set up? any suggestions? Do these look like they are in good condition? I was also going to go check out this big recyclery to find my 944 parts.

I'm trying to find that page that describes all the differences between cv's, stub axles, and flanges again. I seemingly lost it, can someone help me?

merci beaucoup! I bought my axles from a local porsche recyclery. Got both stub axles, inner and outer cv's, and half shafts today, in great condition for $200. I thought it was a pretty decent deal, and they come with a 4 month warranty. Yay progress!! Now to finish that damn pan!

Any suggestions on which trans mounts to use? I have heard the OEM are stronger, but the urethane ones have the cutout which would require much less grinding. I feel a bit uncomfortable grinding off the extra material around the engine bolt holes.



Also, has anyone dealt with a trans with this tab on it? What was it originally used for? Suggestions on removal?



Thanks!

Ok... wow it has been almost a year since the last time i posted on here... crap. I think I'd rather post pics, and you can just ask me about them if you want to.

I am getting ready to disassemble all everything in order to have the chassis blasted and powdercoated. I imagine I need to get some cork plugs to plug all the holes I don't want filled with powdercoat. I am going to remove the torsion bars and the torsion beam face plate. How should I go about sealing the inside of the torsion beam? Any tips would be awesome.

My Doggy



Hopefully once the chassis is powder coated, I will begin assembling the car. I am moving in 4 months and I need to at least have the vast majority of the car bolted together so I can move it onto a tow truck. Let me know what you think.
