It’s good to see the board alive and well, I've keep track but haven’t posted in a long time. The reason that I’m back is that a reoccurring pain in the neck problem came back and the 914 has been parked since (6 months). The problem is a broken clutch tube. Attached is a picture of the problem when it first occurred……….which I thought was permanently fixed with a plug weld, but I guess I thought wrong because it’s broken again. The plug weld lasted 4 years, has anyone got any ideas on a permanent fix for this problem

My 6 when I got it had a u clamp over the tube and 2 thin nuts squeezing the tube to the left side of the tunnel. I guess it worked but I fixed it by welding a bracket over it when I had it apart.
Question is how far do you want to go in? Bob B |

U-Bolt thru the floor pan holding the tube at just about the place that the bracket was. along with several door knob holes in the top of the tunnel. Guess he was hunting where the problem was. Along with welding a 1/4" thick 2" x 2" piece of steel on the outside firewall. They cut a notch in the plate so the tube would sit in it. I have been 40K miles of daily driving with this shade tree fix. Pretty difficult to fix "right". |
