914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Identifying 1.7L tin
Posted by: rmital Apr 15 2014, 10:04 AM
I need the 2 pieces of tin from the bottom of the 1.7L engine,
items 11 and 12 below:
item numbers from the 914_USA_PET
going to Hershey this weekend...hoping to find these pieces.
I have plenty of the same pieces for the 2.0L
....assuming they are not the same?
how do you tell the difference???

I think #11 is the same for all MY but #12 is different for tail shifters and side shifters. The difference is for #12 for tail shifters, the shift rod is "covered" by the piece, that is, the rod goes between the tin and the engine whereas for side shifters, the rod is "outside" the tin, in other words the tin is between the rod and the engine. The pieces differ in the curved area with curvature in opposite orientation between the 2 pieces. The curvature in the #12 piece shown in the figure would be for a tail shifter...

..so then...the tins I have for my side shifter 2.0L will work for the 1.7L side shifter set up?

Yes. Varies with trans type not engine size.
