Hi guys
In the last rally 2 other Porsche's (911's) went out because their CVs failed. My standard 914-4 ones have now lasted me the past 3 years, but I think I'm on borrowed time. Also, I checked the play and they're excessive, so they're on their way out that's for sure. I was wondering if anyone has experience of these: http://www.pelicanparts.com/cgi-bin/smart/...36%29%2C%20Each (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.pelicanparts.com-3285-1346703546.1.jpg) I need them to put up with 200bhp/lbft engine and a whole load of abuse (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) I think these will do nicely but thought I'd get a second opinion from here from anyone that's tried them. Cheers Moggy |

Cheers Moggy My brand new ones only lasted 3 events, but we do excessive things at launch for sure. I went with the 944 turbo CV, but you need to change the output shaft on the 901 and a few other bits, but these will not break. Andy had a great posting going through the numbers of what you to do to swap them over. Just search for CV's and I think you will find the link. If I remember right the output shaft is one from a old 911 (901) that has a different spline to match 944 turbo CV's. It also seems like I only changed the output shaft and the CV's, didn't have to change anything else, but maybe had to do a bit of machining on the stock drive shaft. |

I went with the 944 turbo CV, but you need to change the output shaft on the 901 and a few other bits, but these will not break. Quick question about that: it looks like you should be able to swap the output flanges w/o opening up the box - true? I figured it would at least need to be drained of oil, but I don't really see any seals in the PET. Should/can the taper bearing (part 8, page 132) also be replaced at that time? Or at least checked and repacked...? If I remember right the output shaft is one from a old 911 (901) that has a different spline to match 944 turbo CV's. It also seems like I only changed the output shaft and the CV's, didn't have to change anything else, but maybe had to do a bit of machining on the stock drive shaft. The thread you linked to mentions the 4mm of machining on each end of the drive shaft - and that thread or this one talk about the Sway-A-Way floating drive shafts. There's a list of output flanges, CV joints, stub axles, and wheel hub part numbers on this here wiki if you're going crazy looking for which parts ought to fit together. |

Changing the output shaft on the 901 is really easy. Just be sure you have the correct torque specs. I drained a bit of oil, later to be reused, then changed the shafts and didn't spill any oil. |
