Hi all,
I took my car to a local mechanic because after restoring my 914 that my grandpa bought in 77, it didn't have 5th gear. They tore the tranny out along with the cluch and flywheel. They then told me it would cost $8000 to fix it. I told them to...well you can use what ever phrase you want. I have sence bought a tranny for $150 on craigs list that works great. My problem is that the flywheel keeps coming loose. After pulling and putting in the tranny 3 times im getting tired (and fast) of doing this much work to drive it 50 miles. This last time i pulled it i washed out the bolt holes and bolts and put red loctite on them and it still came loose. The only thing i havent dont is replace the flywheel, bolts, and the flywheel washer plate (the one that goes between the bolts and the flywheel). If I replaced the bolts and the washer plate would that help? Someone told me not to use red loctite and use this bolt goo stuff that works like loctite. Should I do that instead? Any help would be nice. Thanks |

Not so sure about that stretch bolt theory but the thin metal lock plate must be replaced each time. If you look at the underside of the 5 shoulder bolt heads there are serrations that bite into that plate & lock it in place.
Use once, then toss. You may also have an issue with balance as mentioned so Id have it spun with the friction disc & PP by whomever is cutting it. |
