Im ready to stick the tranny in, Need help finding info Options

[weird_looking_cactus]

I got my self a tranny, Im going to attemp to stick it in tomarrow sence I don't have school. I only have access to basic tools at my house I have some jack stands Im going to use. I can't find any tech articals on replacing the tranny I have checked pelican to. So all I have is my haynes manuel. Here are some questions. This is a side shifter transmission.

1. Do I have to drop the engine to take the tranny out
2. Do I need any special tools
3. How long do you think it will take
4. Will this be possible with only 2 people and jack stands
5. Are there any articals out there to help me.

Im sure I will have plenty more once I start.

...where can I get the cv gaskets at.

all the usual 914 suppliers have CV gaskets - Pelican for sure, Performance probably, Stoddard for sure, Paragon... check the websites.

the manuals usually have good exploded parts diagrams, and i'm sure they can be found on this site if someone will point you the way. (i'm not trying to be coy, i would if i had it, but the link is not on the computer where i'm working today...)

follow along the procedures in the manual and you'll see the things that need replacement.

Pelican doesn't have kits, but they do tend to group things together. look around in the CV-joint area and you'll see stuff - usually with pictures of where they go... they have technical articles too - search the site, search the web - the information is out there. you are going to have to do a certain amount of the legwork yourself ...

make sure you are getting 914 CV gaskets (not just 'Porsche' gaskets) and not VW Bug gaskets. they're different...
