I had a bad experience with a FLAPS stater...it worked intermittently for a while then stopped working all together while I was on a road trip.
I ended up going the hi-torque mini starter route from this ebay vendor and I am very happy with it so far: http://stores.ebay.com/hiperformanceofamerica/ He appears to be out of stock for the 914 right now though. I paid $120. |

SR17X was standard in the VW automatics, many put them in standard trans bugs. |
