Unbelievable.

Found sitting in a warehouse in Germany and then brought here....a large "cashe" of assorted 928 transmissions...all brand new, in the factory boxes....and all with limited slips!

Some of these transmissions are so special that I never thought that I'd see one....much less a brand new one, sitting in a box. I've bought pieces and have "converted" USA transmissions to these specifications...for high performance purposes. However, this is extremely expensive to do...and I never can build a brand new transmission!





Here's the first "few" and perhaps the most unique and exciting (although not all are pictured, they all look the same...except for the tags.)

960 300 004 08 European 4 speed for 1986 (or 1985) 928. Ring and pinion ratio slightly shorter than USA at 2.357 to 1. Has slightly higher "stall" speed than USA transmissions (400-600 rpms higher than USA, depending on individual stall speeds.) With 40% limited slip.

960 300 004 06 European 4 speed, specifically made in 1985 for 928. Has "special" gearing of 2.538 to 1. Also has the higher stall convertor used in these transmissions (400-600 rpms higher than USA.) With 40% limited slip.

960 300 004 09 European 4 speed, specifically made for use in 1986 cars. Special Switzerland option. Has "special" gearing of 2.538 to 1. Also with high stall convertor (400-600 rpms higher than USA.) With 40% limited slip.





If you hare building a "hot rod" or just want "snappier" performance, a "shorter" ring and pinion a must. The increased stall speed of the convertor allows your engine to get into the power range quicker. The limited slip keeps traction going to both rear tires.

Transmissions are priced to sell. $3750 to $4750, depending on which one you want and what you have for a core. (Yes, I need you old transmission back.)

New Information

Because I don't want anyone to have any problems with these transmissions, I have decided to do a few things to them, before shipping.

I decided to remove the rear covers, and reseal that cover/inspect the inside of the differentials. I can't imagine the stub axle seals having any issues, but I'm going to install new ones, if there is any question.

All the rubber pieces, on the outside (wiring loom grommets, modulator caps) look like the day they were born, but I am concerned about how long the torque convertor seal and the front pump o-ring has been sitting there. So, at least for the first few, I'm going to remove the convertor and reseal the front (like you just did, apparently.). If I see that this stuff looks perfect, I may not do this, later on. This will also allow me to "see" the inside and make sure everything looks fine.

I'm going to remove the oil pans, take a peek, and certainly install a new gasket, while the pan is off. There is an "updated spring train" for the K1 piston, which helps with "flaring" when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. I'm going to install that kit.

Because many people have had the B2 pistons break (certainly after many years) and the B2 pistons did get updated, I'm going to install the updated piston.

Extremely limited quantitites of each version.....and there are probably no more of these to be found.

Remember, these are brand new and complete with pan, oil fill, convertor, and front convertor support housing. Some even have the wiring looms!

First come, first serve.

PM me, or better yet, send an email to email address listed below, with questions. I can provide individual prices once I know what you have for a core.

I'll post other models, next week.

Nice find! Now what I want to know, is how the heck did you find these??

Simon928

Wow, awesome find. Am I right in assuming that these can go in other model year cars or do they only fit in the 85/86?

GregBBRD

There's many people/companies searching the world for cashe's like this. I was just in the right spot at the right time. The amazing part is that they sat from 1992 to now, in a warehouse in Germany, without anyone knowing!

GregBBRD

I'm not sure what you would need to change to fit one of these in an early car...perhaps someone else knows this answer.

An '84 with a 4 speed automatic should be really easy.

Wow....Just thinking about what you are asking....

A "short ratio" 4 speed, with higher stall and limited slip, would certainly "transform" an early 3 speed car!

Randy V

Nice 'cache' GB!

You lookin' good man - you've slimmed down since I last saw ya.

dcrasta

wow.. that's a hell of a find.

Th Dude

Look at that smile! I love it.

That's some big league archeological work you pulled off there, Dr. Brown...you put Indiana Jones to shame. Helluva score!

Let me know when you dig up a 996tt tranny with the LSD.

SeanR

Ahh**** Greg, I'm going to want one of those

ShawnSmith

Any really big torque converters in the boxes?

IcemanG17

WOW...... I gotta find one of these mysterious german warehouses!!!!!!

GregBBRD

How could you go wrong?

A high quality rebuild is $2500 to $3,000 on a 4 speed. Add in another $500 for a new pan that hasn't been tightened 30 times and therefore has the corners warped beyond use. Throw in a limited slip, brand new pinion bearings, differential bearings, short ring and pinion, new high stall convertor, and a new "front" housing with bearings.

I couldn't build one of these things, with used parts, for less than 6K.

Glenn M

Sweet find, if I already didn't have an 89 4 speed with LSD I would be tempted!

GregBBRD

Trust me...after she wrote the check for these things, my wife wishes you would have found them, instead of me.

Mrmerlin

yep I can see it now
Greg Brown your new transmission man.
Good Luck selling your new stock,
I am sure it will move fast
