I finally got my car moved around in the back so that I can get it up onto jack stands and take a look around.
My short term goal is to get the oil changed, swap the gas tank, charge the battery and try and fire her up. I took a few steps towards that today. First, I was under there cleaning stuff up. I noticed this on the passenger side of the trans. I assume that it is the throttle cable, but being this is my first /6, I need to confirm. Secondly, I drained the oil from the case and the tank. For those that don't recall, here is my 911 tank, cut into the floor. Problem is that when I drained the case and the tank, I only got 1/2 gallon of oil. I was expecting about 3.5 gallons (14 qts +/-). Not even close. This is my first dry sump motor, so am I missing something? Here is a picture of the engine mount bar. I don't know if this is stock, custom, aftermarket or ??? A little help pls. The mount bar sits so low that the side shift trans rod is above it. Lastly, when I got the car, the PO said that he had buggered up the trans. Its a side shifter. I cleaned it up a little and took off the shift rod head and the ball socket. It's a new socket bushing which is nice. I was able to move the selector through all gears. I noticed that the shift rod head was about an inch longer than the one on my car. In fact, it looked as if it was extended somehow. It's odd. I noticed this because I had to put the bushing on the ball and snap it down, before inserting it into the shift rod head. If I didn't do that, the shift rod head was so deep that I couldn't push it on. I am hoping that I get lucky with this. Also, the cone set screw was replaced with a longer set screw, with a square head, that is drilled so it can be wired for additional safety. Anyway, more to come soon. I have my work cut out for me. |
