Looking for input here. Driving the 914-6 (3.0 w/side shift 901) this afternoon in 4th gear when I heard a "noise" or whine and smelled something "warm". Of course I slowed down and it did not occur again at low speeds. I was close to home so I got to the driveway and stopped to look into the problem. At this point the shifter would not move and when I let the clutch out it makes a unpleasant grinding noise. I had the wife steer and I pushed it into the garage.
A little background. The car has always had a little grind going into first and I noticed a little more "grind" than usual today if that means anything. I think it is serious because of the sound and odor thing. Possibly just a shifter thing? Probably not? Planning on pulling it and having it rebuilt most likely? Ideas? |

Transaxle back in the car. Can't really see from the picture but the rear calipers are off the car. The passenger side had a slow leak so off to PMB they went. Got them back today. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Wow Eric does good work.
I posted a few pics of the car before the transaxle broke. It is the nicest 914-6 I have had (and I think I have owned 6 or 7 including a real six). Car has 3.0, Webers, Elephant suspension, S brakes front and 914-6 gt rears, perfect interior. Simple, clean and amazing. I would like to get some professional shots done and post them. I know we cannot nominate ourselves for COTM so I want you all to see the car and I am curious to know if anyone thinks it could compete? Sorry for tooting my own horn as I understand lots of folks think their cars should be COTM. Thanks, David |
