I have an amazing story to tell all of you!
Several weeks ago I was visiting Garold and helping him chop up a couple parts cars. Garold had just pulled most of the useful parts off of a plain Jane 1971 914/4 it was an irish green car with no options not even the roll bar vinyl. I am working on a couple projects and need some sheet metal parts so I asked Garold if I could grab the car from him when he had picked it’s bones clean… Garold agreed. Garold being the generous soul that he is called and said he would bring the car to me! We rolled the car into Kinnaman’s shop and I noticed the engine was still in the car, Garold said he didn’t have the time to pull it, he said go ahead and take the engine and transmission…it is a tail-shifter anyway.  |

Well this confirms what Brad Mayeur told me about the transmissions with an aluminum tag.
(75 guys are now scrounging through all old transmissions to find one with an aluminum tag) A limited slip does just that, it limits the slip and locks the diff so both wheels turn. A normal open diff will allow one wheel to be stationary, while the other one slips. This is very good on a high HP car. A early 914-4 would probably have one for snow. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Back in the day this was relatively common in Europe in areas that see at lot of snow. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Scored LSD's in two seperate deals. One (a rear shifter) amazingly from a guy who claimed to have rebuilt the trans but didn't know of the tag or the trans code or the standard test of turning one flange. The "rebuilt " consisted of painting the trans silver ! Still it was a good deal for the money. The second (a side shifter) came with a "916" project. The guy couldn't get anyone to come to see a project that included 4 NOS fenders, S cams ,1 911 trans, 2 914 transaxles (one a LSD )and a whole pile of other very good stuff. He didn't know about the LSD until I discovered it when loading it on my truck. Both have a home here. Anyone have a source for ZF LSD rebuild parts ? |
