The wife and I were driving home today after lunch and was making a left turn when heard a loud pop and instantly no drive. Had power but it would not move. After jacking the car up, noticed the axle on the driver side came off, the bolts backed out. They didn't snap or strip, just backed out. I Uber home to get my truck and tools and was able tighten the bolts back up. However after pulling away, went to shift to 2nd and it grinded hard, shifted into 3rd OK, when to 4th and nothing, then tried 5th and nothing. So seems all I have is 1st, 3rd and Reverse.
Already PM Dr. Evil about a rebuild and possible and cost. Just a crap way to finish a good day. Just glad to get it home On a positive note a guy stopped to see if we were OK and said he used to have a 914 that he loved (up until he crashed it) |

Check forward to the firewall and the u joint. Likely need replaced bushings there as well. The bushing you’re see in your third pic is likely shattered. Easy and cheap replace. Still don’t think tranz needs a rebuild. The CV joint is likely shot. See if the bitch communicates to where the grease is in the joint, but most likely.

Where the rod comes out of the firewall, that bushing was pulled out of the firewall. I pushed it back into place but it can likely use a new one. So is this the kit I would get with the firewall bushing, the one that goes into the trans and the ball cup?? http://www.autoatlanta.com/Porsche-3-piece...N-BMIS4200.html Regarding the CV joint, sorry to be very ignorant but trying to learn. Is this something that can be rebuild with a kit or do I have to buy a whole new axle? |

Is this something that can be rebuild with a kit or do I have to buy a whole new axle? You can get a replacement joint from PMB for $113. Get the pre-machined one. You will need to remove the axle in order to work on it. I would get all new schorr washers and bolts as well. The bolts require a special driver. Do not use a standard torx driver. https://www.pmbperformance.com/catalog/item...868/9926705.htm |
