Default WTB: 915 transmission case

I'm looking for a good 915 SC/Carrera transmission housing, especially the bell housing. May buy the complete transmission if needed.

The housing of the 915 from the green 911 has a crack in the bell housing.

Please let me know what you got.

Thanks
Engelbert

I got a Tig. Bell housing can be welded if you don’t find a replacement.

I have a magnesium 915/40 bell housing section from when I converted to electric speedo. How bad is the crack in the housing?

Looks like it's not really a crack.



I found some posts in the Pelican forum, with pictures of identical "cracks"

Here:
http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsc...g-problem.html

And here:
http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsc...419-crack.html

It's almost impossible that the crack would be exact the same.

I will try to polish it out and dye check it as soon I got some new dye check in.

I will keep you posted.

Thanks for the reply's
Engelbert

Here is what it looks like after sanding of a bit.

I will check it also with dye check just to be sure.



Thanks to all who responded or sent PM.

You are not the first to think their pressure sand casting was cracked. Saved yourself a couple bucks and time rebuilding a trans.
