CarreraMonkey said:Speaking to a friend, he was telling me that every 915 box he's had (3 or 4) crunched going into 1st whilst moving. Is it a common problem?
I'm marginally concerned by the whole 915 thing as engine and box out so that the box can be rebuilt is inevitably costly. Or do most just live with a crunchy first?
I'm not buying the car to scream around in, I've got my regular car for that, so am wondering if I'm fussing over nothing?
kas750 said:Spot on. A good 915 is absolutely fine.Condition is EVERYTHING!IMI A said:Cars built from September 1986 onward received the more user-friendly G50 gearbox. Personally I'd buy the best condition Carrera out there for your budget and not worry about whether its a G50 or a 915. More important to avoid rust bucket, gearbox rebuild and or engine rebuild :thumbs:

they don't have a crunchy first, you put your clutch in, and select gear, they work perfectly, its all hype and bollocks about them being dodgy.
You just have to have your clutch. adjusted correctly and keep foot to floor until you have changed, ***** easy.
