Hi Gentlemen,
I have a 1970 914-6 that still has its original tail-shift transmission on it (it seems to be in good condition, for a tail shifter). I recently acquired a 914-4 side-shifter trans that I would like to have someone rebuild, with an eye to installing it in my 6. I live in the Sacramento Area (California). Does anyone have a good shop to refer me to in either Sacramento or San Francisco Bay Area for this purpose? The side-shifter trans is in good condition already, but I'd like a top-rate, professional rebuild done on it before having it installed in my 6. Any suggestions or possible referrals would be most appreciated. |

How loose is loose? Are there no oversized bearings available from anyone? The case being Mg, welding and remachining probably aren't an option, but perhaps remachining to a larger diameter and fitting a custom-made insert might solve the problem. Al has about the same coefficient of expansion as Mg, so an Al insert would do the trick.
Unless new cases are still being cast, I'd imagine at some point something like this will have to be worked out. Just thinking out loud... |
