My 914 was converted to an electric vehicle; other than having an electric motor instead of a gasoline engine, the drivetrain is the same as you're familiar with. The electric motor has a hub adapter which matches the bolt pattern of the original flywheel. Then I'm using the orig flywheel, clutch, and transmission. The problem is that somewhere around 3000 RPM the car starts to vibrate (and gets worse with increasing RPMs).
Now at least two or maybe three other guys who did this same conversion had similar vibrations and all of them found that they had troubles with their transmissions. So I jumped to conclusions and thought the same. But I just discovered that I get the same vibration whether driving, sitting in neutral, or sitting with the clutch disengaged. I have my own new theories now but want to hear what some of you other people think. Thanks, Dave p.s. images of the car, including some parts such as the motor, flywheel, etc. can be found here: http://www.halestorm.us/evconstruction.htm |

Does it have the input shaft bearing for the front of the input shaft? If not the clutch will be floating around and clamped in a off center position when you let the clutch out. It sounds about as straight as it can be, It must be balance. You might want to take the flywheel and pressure plate in and have the balance individually checked.

I think I will take it in to have the balance checked. |
