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 |

Yeah I know all about reusing the flywheel bolts. This is what happened when I reused them. I was about 5 miles coming home and heard a odd noise. When I separated the transmission from the engine and removed the clutch this is what I found. 3 bolts were loose 1 was sheared and 1 was still tight. I looked at some other used flywheel bolts I had and the threads were really stretched and I threw those away. My advice never reuse them.
