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

thanks for all the comments so far.
here is what i've found.
after pulling the speedo drive i have the same problem. so i took a bore scope and had a look and i've attached a pic. the rod coming out of the trans that has the speedo gear on it, is hitting the case. i think the old case had the same problem and thats why it wore a hole in the case. so my questions are, is there a different case? or can i change the rod to a smaller one? is it possible to cut the rod or remove some material from the case? is there something else going on with the trans?
