My wife an I took the 914 out last night to run an errand. As I backed out of the garage the wife stayed back to close the garage door. When she got in the car she said there was a puddle of oil on the garage floor. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)
This is new as my car has been spotless since I bought the car from Camp914 2 years ago. When I got home I took a close look at the spot and it's trasmission oil. Since this only my 2nd 914 I'm not that familiar as to the source of the leak. I know from years of experience with VW they are notorious for leaking from the input shaft seal and the shift linkage bushing. Any ideas as to what the problem is? I have been taking the car to Paul over at A&P Apecialties in Portland. It looks like I'll have to get it over to him to get this sorted out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I would appreciate hearing any ideas. |

I wanted to add a very simple and very important point that veteran mechanics already know...
Never take out the drain plug on anything, including the transmission first. ALWAYS take out the filler plug first. If you cant get the filler plug out, that is ok at that point, but if you already drained the tranny by removing the drain plug and you cant get the filler plug out, you are fubar. Also, if you can jack it up really high...you dont need to drain the tranny, it wont leak out the rear if its way up high. You still need to add more gear oil, you have been dripping it. Use only normal dino gear oil...no synthetics in our transmissions. Rich |
