 Hello All,I have a 914-6 conversion that I bought from someone. Well, looking at the rear trans mount, it's off the posts. This does not look right. Any ideas of whta is wrong and what I need to do to correct. (this does not look safe.) The engine appears to be mounted in the correct place and everything else looks ok. I am thinking that the rear mount is the wrong one??? Here's a pic. I really hope someone can point me in the right direction. -- brett |

Rich mentioned something important. If someone just straightened the shift bar it'll be too long. Someone might have shifted the engine back to make the shifting work? Hard to say. You can measure the shift bar for us and we'll tell you if it's too long or not.

QUOTE(Root_Werks @ Oct 6 2008, 10:38 AM)  Rich mentioned something important. If someone just straightened the shift bar it'll be too long. Someone might have shifted the engine back to make the shifting work? Hard to say. You can measure the shift bar for us and we'll tell you if it's too long or not. Finally got back to working it. Ok. I looked at the rear mounts, and they were not symetrical. So, I rotated them, and it's a little better. Hum. So, I crawled to the front of the engine, and the motor is all the way forward on the cradle, and the cradle can only go one way, and it's mount directly on the cradle mounts on the frame. Still nothing that looks amiss. I did check the shift rod, and it's been cut and respliced together. So, I am wondering if this is a homemade engine cradle, and was built wrong. Anyone point me to somewhere that there is a picture of a correct one? I am still puzzled as I can't see anywhere that the engine can move forward anymore. Thoughts anyone? -- brett |
