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? |

Slits and Scott showed me how to do it, with the engine in the car about 2 weeks ago...was a no brainer....actual time frame on labor was about 2.5 hours....but as always you end up doing other stuff "while your down there"....but really its not hard...if you have some help, try dropping the tranny....if not....do the whole engine....more time consuming, but safer in my opinion....It is really not difficult, you just have to be confident and go for it....I am sure you will be very glad when your done....You will learn a lot...
