Mr. Raby is not shy about his dislike for the Porsche 901 gearbox.
Power robber, slow shifter, expensive....

My vehicle weighs less than 2000 pounds, I can live with a 4 speed.
Hope to start with 200hp, later 400 hp. Street/DE use only, no drag racing.

How would a built bug irs or 6 rib bus compare to a stock Porsche 901 or 915, both durability and cost and operation, including shift feel?

And what general levels of prep are there for the VWs?

Any informative links appreciated.

Thanks, Skip

Get a 5 speed 091 box from europe if you want 5 speeds
