70-71 short gear trans 904 shaft LSD

[Eade Hopkinson]

I have for sale a 70-71 trans with a real 904 shaft, gear ratio: A, E, K, Q, V
It also has LSD. It will only fit a 70 or 71 car, which I do not have. I purchased this trans rebuilt from a man named Marion Adams, from So. Carolina. I purchased thousands of dollars worth of parts from him, and this was one of them. He passed away about 6 mos. ago. Many of you know Jens Moller, he actually went down and met this man, who had an incredible Porsche car and parts collection. You could contact Jens to get his feelings on just how well this person knew Porsche cars and parts. I spoke with CarQuip in Boulder, Colorado, who I have done a lot of business with also. They do a lot of trans rebuilding, and I wanted to know what they felt this trans was worth. They said if I bought all 5 gears from them, $500 per gear, or $2,500. The LSD would be about $1,500. A case would be $900, and they sell a repro 904 shaft, (which allows an E second gear) for about $900. That totals $5,800 for the parts, before bearings, seals, etc., and labor to put it together. Call them also, they can verify these costs. I paid $6,000 for it, which included shipping and boxing. I will sell it for $5,000, you pay the shipping and boxing. I do have 3 on this board who read the post on short gears on the tech section also looking to buy, so I thought I would put it on the for sale site rather than continuing all of the PM's. As the thread said on the tech section, if you want the best way to get a big grin on your face, put gears in your car. I have a short box in my 67S, (A,E,I,O,U) what a blast. If this trans fit in my 68S, I would keep it. This is about all I can tell you about this trans.

Hello: It can be made to fit your 68 car by changing out the diff housing. Thanks Eric

Anything can be made to fit. 70-71 is much larger hub than on early trans, and cv joints will not match up, only thing that might work is a 914 hub, which would have to be machined for 5 bolt pattern, etc. Also clutch, etc need to be replaced as well as linkage is alittle different. Just easier to sell as is rather than modify something that is stock and will work well in the right year car. Take care.
