Thanks for the link, Britain. I've been looking for the thread on your project. I've seen your 914 at the ORPCA AX events and heard about the project at Surgeline when I had my Legacy in for tuning. I'm very curious to see it hit the road.

Something that may be useful for guys considering a suby transmission or have a conversion already...
I was trying to resolve an issue with my suby trans where I could hear a bearing noise coming from the tail near 5th gear. I started talking with Bremar about how to determine the correct oil level after doing the 2wd conversion. They said not to rely on the dipstick for oil level. They have seen problems where the suby trans gets used in a mid-engine setup and is mounted at a slightly different angle than in the original suby. The result can be a dry 5th gear which they have had to replace along with bearings. The solution is to tap a plug in the case in the tail section high enough to bath the gearset at the tail. When filling with oil, open the plug and fill until oil comes out the plug hole. I did what they suggested in my suby trans, tapped a plug about 2-3 inches up from the bottom near 5th gear. I ended up with about 7 qts of oil which is almost double the suby specification. Doing this resolved the bearing noise which I now know was due to not enough oil in the trans. |

But from the description I got, this spot makes sense. A little hard to see with it in the car. It's the brass plug right in the center of the picture.  Here's a shot of another trans with the red dot about where I put the inspection plug. This location baths about 1/2 of the drive shaft below 5th gear set which should get good coverage on 5th gear above. It's a lot more oil than an original suby setup, but after talking with Bremar they didn't feel like too much oil (within reason of course) would hurt in this case.  |
