Voith, The photos you show are both 951 bellhousings but they are 86 and 87+ versions. The 951 bellhousing is clearly different than the NA in relation to starter position mount and your starter will be destroyed if you use the NA version. The 944 part # BH you show is for an 86 951 ( I have 3 of them here), all 951 BH's after 86 or 87 had a 951 part number like the other one you show. You have received good advice here, do not use an NA bellhousing, those ended in a different 'R' #.

Too funny! Yes, he's also a very smart bear that's recently come out of hibernation.

It comes from the different ring gears from NA to turbo.

No, I wanted to use na bellhousing since it looks better and doesnt desintegrate

I guess Ill have to use 951, but not before I find the difference

That may be true but the 944 number bellhousing came from my NA. One of those starters came from 951S the other is from my NA allso.

Nice information though. It seems some NA cars had 951 bellhousings. Prossibly 951 bellhousing comes on cars equiped with spring clutch?

I am still wondering about the problems you are seeing with the 951 bellhousings – I have never had a problem with one and that is with 600hp track set ups.

BTW (and don’t take this personally) I did notice that you can’t spell elargentino with out ‘LART”….
