Nice looking car! Good pic of you and SO in engine bay too! She's obviously still able to smile cause you haven't told her how much $$$$ the trans rebuild will be

Well, she knows 3K but not the additional 1K I will need! But that should be ok - cause the tranny has had to be done for 3 years now - so I've been prepping her!!! Also, trust me, I did alot of the prep work the preceding days. When I undid the CV joints - I was directly underneath! A nice blob of nasty grease fell right on my head! So, that pic is obviously not an indicator of what really went on - laugh!

Hi All,
OK, Here are the gear ratios I am gonna go with : 1st - stock 2nd 17:35 3rd 20:31 4th 23:29 5th 25:26 Kindof worried about the whole thing - but I looked at the performance graphs - and this plan seemed to be the best to me. Thoughts??? |

Waiting for Gears... while I am in there
Ok, I'm posting this here because its related. I'm waiting on the gears now - have them ordered - and have a bunch of little and other not so little project to tackle while everything is so accessible One of them is to remove the clutch. I removed the 9 allen bolts that hold the "preassure" plate in - but I cannot get it out! How the heck do you do this??? In the Pelican Tech article, they are working on a 901 - and after they remove the 9 bolts, they just pry out the plate. Good luck here! So, how do you do it????

Hi All,
Been playing with gear numbers quite a bit - and have come to the conclusion that the gear ratios I was thinking of going with (that I posted) are too short. Using this setup, my top would be about 120 mph and at 70 mph I would be at about 3500 rpm while at 80 mph I would be at 3800 rpm (in 5th gear). The very very nice thing with this setup would be that I could take my current 3rd gear and shift it to 4th - which would save me some $$. Using this plan, I would replace 2nd, 3rd and also 5th. Anyway, I'd be happy to listen to you're thoughts... Another thing I was thinking of replacing (while I was in there) was the clutch. Been reading a bit and ok, so I would replace the pressure plate, throwout bearing and disc. Would I have to replace the flywheel too? Now I'm really increasing my costs. What do you guys think??? Again, I'd be interested in your opinions concerning redoing the clutch. Seems a shame not to tackle this project - while I have the engine out - but could I get by with just doing the plate, bearing, and disc - without doing the flywheel? Mike |

Can't offer much on gears other than what I've read - one setup that looked good to me was at Rennsport Systems Here (scroll just past halfway down the page for "915 modifications").
On the flywheel - take it to a machine shop and see if they can resurface it for you. Much cheaper than new.

Hey Kirk,
Thanks - been to this site as well as others. Ran the numbers on a variety of plans and mine just seems to be a bit short. the last thing I wanna do is do all this work - and then be annoyed with the result you know! Concerning the flywheel - ok - resurfaced - but what about an aluminum one? Is it really THAT much better than the steel? |
