Hey guys just curious if you could help me out. I bought a bug that has a Porsche 5 speed trans in it that I am going to be selling. I am curious as to what you guys think it would be worth? From what I could find out it's for a 911 between 65 and 68. The number on the trans is 901.301.101.02 and below that there is a stamp that looks like it says 51/65. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks |

Check the 911 classifieds here and click "show wanted ads only" to see what people are willing to pay that are looking for one. If it's in perfect condition I would list it for $2000 + shipping and see if you get any hits if no hits after a Month lower price to $1500 + shipping. Why would you not want a 5 speed, is geared to high for your motor? |

Thanks for getting back to me man that helped a lot and I ended up working a deal with a good friend of mine for it. It came in a car I bought that was running a bigger motor. I will be running my 1600CC single port so it would have been to much for that little motor. |

you got any photos of the set up, it would interesting to see how it was rigged together, the linkage and such. I have thought about doing a conversion into a Bug chassis. I got a few 901's sitting around. (914 style) Id need to flip the ring gear to make them run right in the rear motor car.
Id like to see how yours went together if have any photos.

Yes like what kind of shifter/shift plate, shift linkage, Trans mount as I have a 901 5 speed out of a 912 which has the right gearing. Pic.s would be great. |

A lot of work went to fit that to the VW pan - frame horns clearanced, different drive shafts, engine mount, new shift rod and shifter plate. Shame you didn't go with a T4 or bigger T1 engine. Many of us only dream of a 5 speed trans! _________________ CMC '57 Porsche Speedster Replica and Dolphin boat tailed full pan VW MOD-T Street Buggy |

That's lame. You should just keep the 5 speed. The ratios will likely be fine. These are NOT freeway flyers! The cars fly because the motors buzz higher. 911 and 912 used the same ratios. (A,F,M, S, X) on early cars. 914's had higher ratios in 5th, maybe 4th. because a bit more torque, and less wind resistance. (914's have very good Cx, actually, witha CDa about the same as Acura NSX)
I doubt a 1600 single port has much less torque, just lower hp peak. Changing back is a lot of work to gain nothing.
