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 |

Also check to see if they used some funky adapter between the engine and transmission... probably not, but worth a look.
You might be able to measure the distance the rear mount is off, then pull off the front mount, take it to a welder and have him shorten it. I dont think there is anything wrong with these style mounts because they have a larger moment handle on the engine, the problem arrises when someone makes a crappy one and it breaks at the weld seems. Good Luck!!! edit: your bar appears to be made out of a 4cylinder bar, so you may want to look into a good replacement, especially if you autocross (like your photo). |
