| Post subject: | Gear Vendors Under/Overdrive... |
Does anybody now something about the Gear Vendors auxiliary transmissions?, I don´t know what kind of benefits my car can get if I install one of them in a 904. I've heard great stuff, but still in doubt... these things are expensive. What about torque, economy, speed, temp and everything else that affects my Slant...? Also, should I install one on my basic '74 904 or should I modify it or replace it with any other type of trans? Thanks. Ed |

I think it is a good extra gear, but it is expensive, and I would not recomend it behind a slant, unless you go to a steep rearend gearing. And you can pay for a lot of gas, for that money. Do a search for the a-500 swap, that should be cheaper, and handle the slant just fine, but again I think you want at least 3.23 or more rear gearing, so it doesnt just bog down in O/D. But that is just my opinion! |

How hard is it to install an A500 transmission? A locking torque converter would be way cool. |

You can find lockup 904´s too. I think the swap was something like this: Adapter plate between engine/trans Modified tranny crossmember Modified crossmember for the torsion bars(and floor?) Shortened driveshaft Some way of controlling lockup/overdrive It doesnt look like a easy swap to me, but very doable anyway. Do some searches... there is at least one car on this board with a 500. |

You must be careful, because I am NOT the guru of these things! So get more answers from others, before cutting your cars to pieces... I guess that is the nice thing about these boards, if I say something wrong, someone will tell both of us how things really are. But if I am almost sure of something I will post it, but with a disclaimer... And really good luck with that blue thing, whatever it is
