ok so i just drove up my 1976 914 with 160,000 miles from a 280 or so mile trip from san fran to my home town. First off i got the car for 3,300 dollars.

What the car has done to it.
lowed on koni's- no idea what the drop is or anything like that but it looks good
rebulit head and head gasket.
just passed smog.
looks like a brand new gas tank.
has documentation from the last 10 years of work down to it.

now the bad-
1)it grinds going into 2nd and 3rd on occasion. Its the wierdest thing when i rev it a lil higher than my normal shifting routine it does in fine. i don't know if it's that i'm not used to the shifter and the lack of a shift knob?

2)it drove fine for the first 5 miles then i hit the brakes a lil hard, it started to knock like the lug nuts were loose on the rear passenger side check the lugs and they were fine. Called my dad up and he said it was most likely the caliper was wobbling or the rotor was warpped.

3) as said in my previous topic the turn signals don't work! it sucked

4) wipers don't work, no indication or noise.

5) tailights don't work, and when i step on the brake my gas and tach gauge drop.

6) fog lights won't come on- not sure if it's blown lights or not

7) i have no radio and thier is no wiring for a radio. Any suggestion on what fuses i should tap off of, for the power acc, and power constasnt would help.


Also i have checked all fuses and all are intack and not blown.


any help would be apperciated thanks mike

- sun visors
- stock knob
- glove box inside portion
- head light knob

hey thanks for the schmetics they helped alot.

so i fixed the horn, wipers and cig lighter and they work perfect. also got the tail lights to come on.

stuff that still needs to be fixed but i think i've figured out the problems to them.

ok the turn signals i can get to come on but not flash when the key is not in. but once the key is in and and turned they don't even come on.

My solution- i think it's the the flasher relay. it's pulling power when it's not supposed to and might be screwed up inside.



tach still drops when brakes are hit. No idea where to start with this one.


After reading a pelican automotive write up on tranny problems- i realized i have no firewall bushing and i def need one. also after i drove the car home from work i realized that when i double clutch i have no problem with grinding or have very very little grinding into 2 or 3rd. Then after i stop i looked under the tranny and realized i was leaking a lil bit of fluid.

so my solution- replace all shifter bushings and put new motor and tranny mounts in. Any check my tranny fluid.
