22June06 - 38854: Inspected front outside bearings. NEED REPLACING! Naturally, so will the inners. Pitted and rusty. Cleaned and repacked with synthetic grease. Front left was originally too loose. No more grumbly sounds coming from the front end, yeay!

Brake pads are meaty, look new. Did I replace them? Gonna have to check my paper records...somewhere...

20June06 - 38790: Swapped in my previous rebuilt 914 tranny. Current tranny needs new synchros, minimum, and seal(s?) around the shift lever as it has a slow leak...more so when hot of course. "New" tranny is niiiice!

Also had to replace original rear shift rod with my previous 914 unit as the original unit was hitting the lower cooling tin and disallowing 4th gear shifts. All new bushings from firewall to tranny for shifting. New cone screws used with blue Loctite to keep things held together.

Used inner star washers on CV bolts as I couldn't locally get the stock-style (serated) washers. DOH...just occured to me I could've hit the local Porsche dealership that's 2 miles from my house...idiot! Oh well, ordered 16 of them and a new rear shift cover from PelicanParts. Also got an extra pair of CV gaskets. Now I'm prepared for another CV disassembly should I need one.
