hi, working on a 1975 914 1,8 5spd.
so; i'm replacing the rear cover for the transmission. its the cover that the speedo drive is located in. i have it on but, i can't seem to get it to go on all the way. it is setting about 1/8" from seating all thew. i don't want to tighten the nuts until i can find out if this is normal or is there something i've missed or have out of alingment. any suggestions would be great! thanks. ive enclosed a pic  |

Nope. It has to completely close the gap. There's a piece or two inside the tail cone that can slip off and keep the piece from seating.
It will assemble without force or using the hardware to close the gap - or at least it should. |
