Hey guys
I’m working on a 73 2.0 which has been sitting for approximately 27-28 years. I’m going down the “to do list” and am now at the transmission; here she is. When I picked it up there was a bit of trans fluid on the floor also. I was thinking about changing fluid and trying to start and drive it but thinking it may be a wasted of time. What are your thoughts and should I send out trans for new seals/gaskets?   |

DucRS, per Wayne's Porsche 911 engine book, regarding engine break-in....
Have car outside of your garage, have a buddy, fire extinguisher. You've checked brakes, turn engine over with out rotor (oil to all parts). Check for leaks, things will smell funny for a while. Check temp, oil pressure, fresh gas/new lines maybe. Great looking car, have fun. Best, Mark |
