Hello,

I’ve just rebuilt a 1971 2.2T engine, with the intention of installing it in my 914.

As I understand it, it should be possible to mate the existing side-shift gearbox to the 2.2T engine by using an early flywheel, while retaining the existing 914 clutch.

Is this correct?

Thanks in advance

Yes, that is the exact combination I have in my car. I recall that I used the 914 pressure plate and clutch, but I'd have to check.

BTW - Don't neglect the main shaft support bearing and washer that sits in the flywheel / crank area - suggest renew that and the clutch throwout bearing at the same time. Also the (nylon?) pivot bushing, as these crumble over time.
