hi ya'll
I'm working on a 1975 914, 1.8, 5 Spd it needs a clutch so I removed the engine and trans so I could give them both a bath and service the engine bay too. while cleaning the trans I discovered what you see in the attached photos. on top of a big blob of silicone caulk was a smaller sized but no less of a blob of JB weld. underneath that was what is shown in the pic of what looks like a washer and a brass disc. they are also spinning in that hole the location of this "fix" is at he very back of the trans where the trans bolts to a cross brace which bolts to the the frame, just above the speedo drive in the center of what looks like a cover separate but bolted to the trans case. it was obvious it was put there to stop a leak as that area was covered with dirt and grease. so my questions are what should that cover look like? what is the correct fix? can that cover just be removed for inspection/repair/replacement without having to dismantle the trans? also, any info anyone has on something like this. thanks in advance. |

Been awhile since I've been into one....but it looks like someone tried to put it back together "wrong" and used a hammer to try and seat it. Then the shaft punched a hole in the housing. Should be able to find a used "end cap" and hope nothing else was damaged
