Not wanting to put any undue pressure on the TOB I pulled the cable end as far forward as i could while pushing the clutch lever as far back and adjusted the cable with no free play. Tube is good, cable, pressure plate, flywheel etc all have about 30,000kms. Pedal stop is low and yet I have to push the pedal all the way to the floor to keep from grinding in 1st and reverse. I can not pull the pedal back at all as described in the factory manual. It works but barely- the travel is too far even with the cable adjusted with slight pressure on the shift fork lever.
It seems to me there should always be just the slightest play in the cable- no?? Any thoughts? Pete |

Anyway.. Good tips on transmission only removal?? Save yourself the headache and just drop the combo. It is so much easier. http://www.914world.com/specs/tech_engdrop1.php (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) I was afraid someone would say that. I hear ya but its going the be a serious slippery slope there. The engine needs some tuning so if I pull it I'll be making an appointment with the Dyno. Next thing you know the car will be in for paint... which is sorely needs. Gotta get the 911 back on the road- arrgg. I thought this 914 would be a project free car but I guess they never are. This one has definitely turned out to need a lot more attention that I had homed for though. Pete |

IMHO the reason so many 914s are a project is because everyone is trying to shortcut the process and nothing ever gets done the way it should. Not pointing a finger at you. I’ve seen this going on since 80s. Everyone tries so hard to avoid removing the engine and trans. The end result is people trying to work on things in the car and making the job way harder and taking way longer than need be. Or, they just defer the job until things get worse. All in an attempt to avoid removing the engine. Just pull the engine and trans - it literally is an afternoon job. There is very little engine or transmission work that can be done in the car. It is the nature of mid engine cars. Same for a Ferrari . . . or a Fiat X1/9. However, it is so simple to drop the engine and trans on a 914 it’s ridiculous and you’ll wonder why everyone thinks it’s a big deal. With the powertrain out, you can easily address the shift fork pivot which certainly should have been addressed before you bought it, but of course the previous owner probably didn’t want to pull the engine & trans either . . . which is . . . how we got here. Literally - you can have the powertrain out, shim the pivot, and reinstall in a weekend. No need to get caught up in dyno work and paint if you don’t want to. I’ll go so far as to say, you ought to do a removal and replacement of the engine & trans once before the dyno and paint, just so you have the hang of it and don’t tear up fresh paint learning. It really isn’t a big deal. |
