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  |

The reverse gear set (the loose bits) has a spacer at the bottom that has a moon shape cut that allows it to fully seat. If it is not properly on place it will not allow the gear set to fully seat. Pop the cover and remove the reverse bits to make sure it is seated correctly. The spacer is about as thick as the gap you are experiencing.
