Restored gearbox housing after water blasting

Porsche 901 Gearbox Rebuild

Rebuild, limited-slip differential, Nadella stub axle and rotation-direction change

We rebuild the 901 gearbox of the early 911 and 912 to factory specification — and make the parts that vanished from the catalogue long ago: from Nadella stub axles to the limited-slip differential for both case types.

What we do on the 901 gearbox

  • Complete rebuild
    stripping, measuring, reconditioning and setting up the ring and pinion with original factory tooling — finished with a test-bench run and photo documentation.
  • Limited-slip differential
    available for both case variants — aluminium and magnesium — with a locking value of 25 to 75 % to suit the use.
  • Nadella stub axle
    newly made, ground and heat-treated.
  • Uprated 7:31 final drive
    ring gear and pinion newly made, all fits and gear teeth ground — in stock, as is the 1st gear 14:37.
  • Rotation-direction change
    for conversions with relocated engine (mid instead of rear), including fresh setting of the hypoid drive.
  • Housing restoration
    water blasting and magnesium pickling in our own workshop — back to the original, slightly mottled factory finish of the magnesium case.

Typical problems this solves

Why inquire here

For early 911s the gearbox is often the last unsolved item of the restoration. We keep the whole chain in-house — from parts out of our own production to the set-up, test-bench-run gearbox.

Common questions

01 Which Porsche models used the 901 gearbox?

02 Is the limited-slip differential available for aluminium and magnesium housings?

Yes, we supply it for both housing variants of the 901 gearbox.

03 What is a Nadella stub axle?

A stub axle that has long been unavailable as an original part. We produce it new — for the 901, 904, 908, 910 and 917.

What is on your bench?

Gearbox type and a few lines about your request — that is all we need for a first assessment. A photo helps but is not required. The answer comes from the machinist, not from sales.
