Still working on going thru my new to me 1973 914 2.0 liter and have a few ??'s
I am going to dropping the engine in order to clean up the back wall and the hell hole section .. have to cut out a small rust section and patch then paint ... Question is .. what else should I do "while I am in there" planning to do an oil change .. tranny fluid change(is swepco 201 correct for this ??) valve adjustment ... tune up and swap out the single carb for the dual webers... If there are any recommendations such as plug type, fluid commentary, etc it would be greatly appreciated ... I had planned swepco for the tranny, Valvoline Vr1 20/50 w/ zddp and a Mahle filter those are the same fluids i use in my 911 and I think are correct for the 914 .. Also when pulling engine/tranny on the 911 I use a motorcycle jack and crib it to hold thins right .. anyone use these to pull the engine/tranny ?? and if so any pics for cradle ??? |

That's the type of stuff I am looking for ...
For the Transmission what is typicality recommended ?? swepco for the 915 is the answer to prayers it seems .. but evidently not the 901 ... Also thanks for the advise on the bushings and fuel lines etc... Other recommendations are appreciated ... Thanks for the advise .. Steve |

I believe both the 915 and the 901 use the servo-style synchros, so I would think they'd react similarly to transmission oil formulations.
Do searches hear for "swepco" for pages and pages of debate. Richard Casto has a great article on transmission oil. I'm running FLAPS dino 80w90 GL5 (Catrol Hypoy C I think) and it's working fine. I think the most important thing is to use fresh, clean oil, make sure you have enough oil in the box, and change it regularly. |
