Several months ago, when my 914/8 was running and driving, it began exibiting a 'chirping' sound with the clutch pedal depressed. After several days driving around town the car suddenly became very difficult to get into gear. I limped it home and just as I got there it outright refused to engage.
I didn't have time to get right into it as other projects where calling but I've finally dropped the transaxle and had a look. To my eyes the clutch is toast, but there were other questionable things lurking inside the bellhousing. Here are some photos so you Porsche-geniouses can perhaps give some feedback.

Not sure why the PP would be contacting the arm...
Or for that matter why there would be markings on the bellhousing from the ring gear. I've got a new Al PP, a kevlar disc, new T/O bearing, and pilot bearing from renegades ready to install as soon as I surface the flywheel but I don't want to put it all back together to have it do the same thing. As far as I know the PO operated the car like this for a few years of street driving and autoX. BTW: Multiple photos and quick edit rock! |
