(EDIT) heres a link to the post with pics.. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...3727&st=25#
my teener was out of commission since about october until two weeks ago, i finally got the cv fixed and reshaped the shift rod and several other little things. man, it was awesome, for two weeks the weather here was perfect, i had the top off, just cruising about. looking like a BAMF. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif) but today, i pull out of my garage, drive about 3 blocks down my street, stop at the stop sign. I start to go, when suddenly BAM! the exact same thing happens. the cv bolts shear off. car stops. and i go off. so, ive probably got a bent cv joint. and a bent shift rod again. can someone please explain. ive only got a 2.0. nothing fancy. this shouldnt be happening. unless its an undocumented feature of some sort.

Don’t use gaskets!! They will compress over time. Just use silicon to seal it. Loctite will keep your bolts from coming loose.

If no gasket is used the CV joint does not fit correctly Rich I disagree with both of you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) The gasket does not affect the alignment/fit of the cv to the flange. What it does is prevent grease from slinging all over the place. A bead of silicone will not stay put for long. The centrifugal force will make it come off. At least on a track car thats what happens. |

A bead of silicone will not stay put for long. The centrifugal force will make it come off. At least on a track car thats what happens. I hate silicon and rarely use it. Yes, the gaskets keep the grease in and dirt out. Period. What I have seen is gaskets made too thick. You tighten the bolts and the gasket compresses but not allowing the metal on the cv and flange to touch. As time goes on, the gaskets compress and wear and what you have left is a loose set of bolts that come out and\or shear. I quit using gaskets a long time ago and instead use Permatex Anaerobic Gasket Maker between the two actual faces (not in the gasket area) The two surfaces must be perfectly clean before using the Gasket Maker. I also use lock tite on the bolt threads. The holes and threads have to be clean too. I have done this on both 911 and 914. No leaks of grease and no loose or sheared bolts. |
