Description

The WEVO XT225 side cover is designed to be used with the OE Porsche 915 differential flipped over to configure for mid-engine, but otherwise not altered.This means that the OE magnetic ring on the 915 differential will be correctly positioned for the OE 915 speedo sensor, installed in the pocket of the XT_225 side cover.

For a long time Windrush have recommended the use of the 915.301.311.3R style 915 side cover. This later version of the side cover had the highest stiffness and offered the highest performance solution for managing the seperation load of the Crownwheel and Pinion gear assembly. The earlier aluminum and magnesium side covers – while lighter – is less stiff and prone to cracking and failure under extreme conditions.

Once quite inexpensive, the 915.301.311.3R have become more costly and difficult to obtain as a new replacement part. Windrush elected to produce the XT-100 and XT 225 Side Covers: billet side covers with the stiffness of the 915.301.311.3R and the additional benefit of a larger differential carrier bearing on the cover side – copying the bearing configuration of the 930 transmission.

The XT 225 version provides speedo sensor relief. The kit does not includes the bearing that is a standard Porsche part # 999.059.064.00. (Bearing can be purchased seperately). This side cover can be used with any 915 transmission from 1972 – 1986 except those with the side cover oil pump installation.
