Offered from the estate of Porsche Master Mechanic David Glenn, this Porsche 901 5-speed manual transmission (No. 7701679) is believed to have originated from a 1967 Porsche 911 or 911S. As one of the early aluminum-case 901 units with the distinctive dogleg first gear pattern, it represents the foundation of Porsche’s renowned gearbox lineage.

This transmission appears to have been restored by Glenn and prepared for future installation, complete with a handwritten tag listing its gear ratios and setup notes—a hallmark of Glenn’s workshop documentation.

While its internal condition has not been verified and no test records accompany the unit, it presents as clean and complete, reflecting the craftsmanship for which Glenn was known

Inspection is encouraged through the accompanying photo gallery or in person at Hagerty Garage + Social Savannah.
