Hi all!
Real short introduction. I'm on a three month leave here in San Diego, with my wife and 3 month old daughter. I live in Norway, but my American wife has family here, and winter is a great time to visit. It gets cold in Norway... I have a BMW 635CSi and a Citroen SM in Norway, but that's a different topic altogether. On to business. I have a 1974 914 (4742921095) that has been an AX car for the last ten years. My plan is to make the car more presentable--when I got it, it was quite rough. It's an SBC V8 build with a 915 transaxle and various 911 suspension parts. More about that later. The car doesn't look so good right now, in particular I don't like the flares, so I'm going to do a fairly thorough restoration. Not too much rust on the car, but it probably needs dealing with anyways. Here's the beauty: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/people.opera.com-10999-1290399407.1.JPG) I bought this car from nocones last year, and it's been sitting for most of that time, due to a broken transmission (and also I've been back in Norway). During some fairly normal driving, it popped out of third gear and self destructed. I wasn't in the car at the time, so I'm not really sure what happened. Only inspection will tell. So, out the trans comes.  Unscrewed the drain plug. This does not bode well:  More carnage is visible once the nosecone is off:  I need bigger tools to get the fifth gear and reverse off, so I can't get to the innards where the real action is right now. Will investigate that tomorrow. I found parts of what I suspect is a grenaded second gear. It remains to be seen whether the transmission is a lost cause. Input is appreciated. Maybe I should just get a 930 and be done with it... More tomorrow. - Karl |

The ring and pinion was in excellent shape, so was reused.
 Quaife differential.  Finally, all the parts that got replaced... Lotsa dollars went into this.  |
