Used Transmissions For Sale
As I mentioned in several articles I wrote on (www).GotEngines.com, our sister site, I own a 1970 Porsche 911S upgrade to the RS specs using genuine Porsche Parts. Hi cost, Hi quality. Now we can speak on Porsche Transmissions.
When I decided to overhaul, rebuild, re-manufacture (all mean the same thing) the transmission, needless to say it was an interesting experience. I was floored at how well engineered the transmission is and how easy it was to work on. Warning: This is not a job for the DIY at home on the weekends. It takes plenty of skill and the proper tools, which are expensive.
The 1970 model 901 transmission has a magnesium case. I know this sounds really cool, but the rest series of 901 and the other Porsche transmissions use aluminum cases which are stronger, believe it or not.
So after a good clean up and inspection, I decided to replace the second gear synchronizer assembly. That was the main reason for pulling it out of the car and ‘going through it’. The gears were perfect and as surprising as it was the unit was absolutely perfect otherwise. Even the super hi quality German bearings that come in the transmission were beautiful. I say that with confidence since I viewed them through a microscope at my friends place, the veterinarians office.
Other than the second gear synchro, I put new factory seals in it. Another thing I did was have the gears cryogenically hardened. What that means is they are super frozen in a liquid nitrogen for the proper period of time and allowed cool of correctly and you have doubled the strength of the metal gears and shafts.
That was luxury. I never squeal tires or bang gears. Once you start to abuse your transmission, and it craps, and you have to pay for it, most people stop the abuse. I treat my cars with respect. I don’t mind at all revving it to 9000 rpms, the motor can handle it easily, but I don’t bang it into the next gear, I do shift fast, but with some ‘touch’. I am not an abuser, I always remember the case is soft, it is magnesium.
Had this transmission been beyond repair, my first choice would be to call GotTransmissions.com @ 866-320-1182. They have the ability to locate these units used and guaranteed perfect.
