to be frank, the 900 transmission is inferior to the 9000. The 900 uses the same design (bevel gears, chains!) as the old 99 that produced what, 100hp? It's common knowledge on the C900BB that the 900 transmission will self destruct with over 200hp. the 9000 trans has ~10-15% drivetrain loss (when calculating hp), the 900 has 20% or more. In other words, the 9000 trans is more efficient. The shifter in the 900 I had was so vague it was rediculous.
the 900 gear ratios are shorter than all 9000s. THe 900 can be zippier around the city, no question about that:) Then again the aero can go 0-60 in about 6 seconds, ouch!
