In one weekend the Doc totally demistfied the 901 transmission and manual transmissions in general.
Because the only transmission I've ever taken a peek at was the aircooled VW, I've been scared of tranny's like a little girly-man. I'm not an expert yet, but I hope Mike would say I'm compitaint. I have 2 transmissions built from the clinic, plus enough spares to build a another 901 if I had another core. In this pic, if you look at top 1/3, center, you can see (on the pegboard hook) dog teeth, 1st sliders, sider and a few bands. Nice score. 2nd pic is the 911 901 that the Doc built as a demonstrator, same thing as a 914, just a bit different on the nose cone and selector. Attached image(s) |

Thanks for the reply Mike.
I do not have the jig but I did put a scribe mark on each shaft before I removed each shift fork. The fork went back on in the same position (linear) as they came off. As noted before, I just had one of them slightly rotated and this caused some binding in the shifting. Both Haynes and factory manuals said to remove the drive gear (small) from the the shaft before removing the gear assemblies from the intermediate plate. This is why I did it. The gear was tight to remove but it didn't "pick up" and came off smoothly, just tight. When I put it back on, I could easily return it to it's original position with the nut and a 3/8" ratchet. (To remove it again I would still need a puller as I don't think I could pry it off without one) I guess I could have removed the pinion shaft without removing the #1 (small) first gear but I wasn't keen on tapping the shaft out with the gears still slightly engaged. Now that I see how the bearing on the pinion shaft comes apart I guess I didn't need to remove the drive shaft. This is only the second time I have done this so live and learn. If you feel that returning the shift forks to their original postion might not be "good enough" let me know and I will take it out of the car and align them properly. Tx |
