hello everyone
Just joined the club but I've been reading and learning for a couple of weeks now. I bought the 914 in Tampa a couple of weeks ago on Ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...2483069182&rd=1 and have been busy fixing tail lights, blinkers, horn, etc. I still have brake light issues as the PO has apparently made several modifications to the wiring. I also have a backfire on decel and will drive the car on ramps (scary) to check for exhaust leaks. I'm having 2nd thoughts after reading that the motor must be dropped to change a clutch! I am no mechanic and I hope that I can find a reasonable one in this (Pensacola) area. Looks like most of you are in the CA area? |

welcome to the club! I really dig the racing stripe! Don't be scared by the dropping the engine to change the clutch, it is really pretty easy to remove. You can replace the clutch with the engine in the car, but it is much more diffacult.
The are some really great articals and people that can talk you thru just about every thing here! you might want to ask somebody besides me... I am really good a removing, just not so quick to put the engines back in! 0 for 3 right now, but the motors look really kewl in my garage! You are in for one heck of a ride!!
