Can anybody tell me where I find the transmission #? I have a 1961 VIN #154611, it has the original motor and from my records and the seller the car has only 61,000 miles. it was in storage for 15 years. I have several #'s from my non-Porsche mechanic none of which works for identification.

It's on the bottom of the case.

It's the number running fore and aft. The transverse numbers are date of mfr, type and gear set.

The mechanic (not a Porsche specialist) gave me these transmission #’s.. 741.201.101.00 or 741.301.301.03 or KO2457 maybe ko2457 ? None of these numbers seem to fit/work.

Robert, those are the casting numbers for the aluminum housing and front cover.
The serial number, type and date codes are stamped into the bottom of the transmission as Wes indicated.
