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

Have the same engine ,used Saches NOS pressure plate and disk way before they got rather expensive ,a very straight forward conversion IMO.
The 215mm clutch handles extra h.p. no problem well over what the 2.2 T can deliver as my research indicated .
Cheers .
