Hi everyone.
(1974 1.8) So, I've noticed over the past couple weeks that slowly 1st gear and reverse are becoming harder to get into without it grinding a little. I'm wondering if something is just out of alignment? Ideas? Thanks! Mike |

Agree with the clutch first issue.
As a matter of information, when I assembled my 914-6 3.0 up to the Kennedy Engineering (KEP) stage II clutch, I could not get anything but nashing and grinding at the onset. 914Toy (Keith) and I called a fellow teener in LA and he said we needed to change things a little. A little change goes a long way. So, get to your change purse and Drop dime. He said we should file the edges off of one thin dime and press it in to the throw out fork pivot hole then add the white plastic bushing and reset the clutch cable lash to spec. Suddenly and for the last several thousand miles, not a problem. The dime did it. And because of the play in the cable threads, I will never install a throw-out fork without the dime therein. If it is too much, just adjust your nuts. Your two 11mm nuts on the cable. Properly adjusted, your ride will adjust all other nuts to proper torque due to acceleration and lateral G-force.

Sounds like an engine out cure, eh what? |
