after a couple of months of planning and parts collecting i have finally started my transzilla build. it will using a normal 914 side shift trans, with a few up grades, i will be dialing in the ring and pinion back to spec with this build also.
i laid all the parts out on my assembly table to give you guys an idea of all the parts installed. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i722.photobucket.com-12492-1362881754.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i722.photobucket.com-12492-1362881754.2.jpg) |

a friend suggested i do a build thread after i disassembled and cleaned all the parts. so i will begin starting with assembling the pinion shaft. first thing i had to do is figure out the pinion depth. this is done with a combination of shims. this is when you have to put on your thinking cap and do some math.
after using the formulas in the factory manuals i came up needed 1.38mm of shims. rounded up i would actually install 1.40mm worth of shims. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i722.photobucket.com-12492-1362887160.1.jpg) this is where have a big assortment of shims comes in handy. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i722.photobucket.com-12492-1362887160.2.jpg) then i dropped them onto the shaft (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i722.photobucket.com-12492-1362887160.3.jpg) |

You are missing the pinion depth money shot! You didn't show how you measured the actual depth to calculate the shim stack. I am curious, what tool did you use to measure the actual depth? Nice clean work by the way! Richard |

Richard thank you richard.... i will take a picture of my pinion depth tool for you today and post it up tonight. my next installment is going to be the pinion depth, bearing preload, and back lash. im now sure how many people would actually do these critical steps, so i wasnt going to spend much time on them. i havent even gotten to the good stuff yet (rubbing hands together) for anyone whos interested heres a preview of whats to come. my oiling circuit pre install mock up and testing. cooler mounting, pump mounting, plumbing etc. double shearing the shift console. i just buttoned up the gearbox last night and may install either tonight or tomorrow. fingers crossed. |

I don't think many would (or would have the tools to) do it themselves, but I think they would be curious to see what tools and processes are involved. Richard |
