ALBINS 915 GEARS AND RING AND PINIONS

 

Stock gear ratios are designed for drivability and fuel economy and not necessarily for best performance.

 

Whether you have a stock motor or one that has been tuned your transmissions gear ratios may not be optimum for your driving needs.  Optimizing your gears to match your engine’s power curves can make a huge difference on the track, often resulting in reduced lap times, and can give the sensation that there has been a gain in power.  Alternative gear ratios can make the car more fun to drive or be more drivable.

 

We carry a wide selection of OEM Porsche gears and Albins gears to suit a variety of applications.  Most racing ratios are only available in Albins new condition.

ALBINS 915 SYNCHRO TEETH

 

Sometimes termed as dog ring or synchro hub, these are the teeth that the shift sleeve/slider engages into.  If you have a bad synchronizer and if you have been grinding going into gear-you probably need to replace this part.

 

These are a direct replacement for both OEM and Albins gears.

 

·         1st gear synchro teeth, asymmetrical, 77-86, $199

·         2nd gear synchro teeth, 72-86 $199

915 guide tube upgrade 1

 

915 guide tube upgrade 2

 

CMS EARLY 915 THROW OUT BEARING GUIDE TUBE UPDATE

 

This update will allow for use of the late style 915 main shaft seal and o-ring on early transmissions (72-75) where the seal installs from the inside and the guide tube is not removable.  The update is also good repair for those whom have loose, damaged or worn out guide tubes.

 

The original is machined off and a custom steel tube is fitted. It’s further retained from the inside of the diff case with a high quality snap ring and sealed with the factory o-ring.

 

We perform this modification in house and you can send us just the bell housing or the entire transmission.

 

If you send us just the bell housing, we charge $295 to install the upgraded guide tube.  We’ll even clean and inspect the housing’s bearing bores for you at no additional charge. 

 

915 bearing bore repair

 

CMS 915 BEARING BORE REPAIR

 

It’s not uncommon for your 915 transmission case to have spun bearing races and misaligned bores.  This issue was most predominant in the 78-83 differential housings pinion bearing bore.  With the age and mileage of today’s 915 original cases, some may need more than one bore repaired.

 

Typically “staking” or “loctiting” the spun race won’t fix the problem.

 

We can reliably and cost efficiently repair your 915’s bell housing or center section’s main shaft or pinion shaft bearing bores with our custom made sleeves.

 

We machine the original bore(s) to restore concentricity as needed then press fit the new bushing(s) into place.  With this repair you may continue to use the original style cylindrical roller bearings.

 

$250 per bore
