I noticed something today that I realized has been going on with my 914 for a while. Whenever I get off the power and coast, there's a roaring noise from the car. If I take the transmission out of gear, or if I put the clutch in, there's no noise. And if I add enough throttle to maintain speed or accelerate, no noise.

So it only happens when engine braking.

Any ideas of where it could be coming from? This obviously won't be something that is easy to replicate in the garage...

My thoughts were that it could be the CVs, objecting to being loaded the "wrong" way. Possibly time to repack/rebuild/replace them. Or it might be something in the transmission? I did rebuild the trans relatively recently (especially if you count miles, but not that many months ago) so it could be something I did there...

Differential whine possible from the wrong setting which could have been caused by the wrong gasket???

I think Rich, or one of the PNW guys has a tool he may lend you to check it....but you would need to pull it apart again....

Not to bring up the debate over the use of the word rebuilt, but what exactly did you replace in the transmission when you had it apart?
