Porsche 901 trans question!!

Anybody out there using the 901 5-speed out of a Porsche 914 ? Any strengths/weaknesses to this trans . I may be able to get a rather trashed 914/4 for $750 . I think the complete drivetrain would work awesome in a GL bug . The wheels aren't very good , so I would still have to find new ones , but that's no problem . Any comments would be appreciated!!!!

Check out http://www.914club.com/bbs2/index.php like I did for a great source of information on the 901 trannys.

I'm using one in my Ghia...it's sitting on my bench, but not installed yet

Just don't repeatedly dump the clutch in first gear.

I'm guessing first tends to be a little weak, or just the clutch?
