Ok, I bought a 1971 1.7L in Illinois and started home to Wicconsin. It started a little slow the idle jumped up and down. Once it warmed up it ran great, the tranny only let me hit reverse,4th and 5th (I think) maybe 2nd and 3rd It spurted at high rpm after about 30 miles or so. I put new gas in with Lucas additives and it seems to have helped but it occasionally back fires First job is rebuild tranny |

I would not rebuild it rather do a side shift conversion.. Its way easier.

Are you still interested in looking at my 1973 914 with a 2L motor? The car is in beautiful downtown Cudahy Wisconsin. It is a complete car but something is amiss with the motor. I was told it had "thrown a rod" but it doesn't sound right to me. If you are interested let me know. Also if you can give me a ballpark of what it will cost to look at it, that would be great. I just went through a divorce and although the 914 is free and clear, a lot of my "extra" money is gone. I am not in the line for free cheese, but I am not looking at brand new Porsches either.
thanks for your help. cheers! |
