So I'm test-fitting my engine and transmission in the car right now, and I'm having some problems. Perhaps someone can offer some advice.
Engine is a 2.7 liter, transmission is a 901 pull clutch, mount (for now) is a Patrick Motorsport piece. Issue #1: supposedly the clutch cable to use is a 72-74 911 unit. The sheath is a little short, though, and making a bracket isn't necessarily easy because part of the crankcase prevents me from having a straight shot. I have an idea of how to do this, but I'm wondering if anyone's done this before. Here's a pic: Attached image(s)

In his book, B. Anderson discribes the 70-71 clutch
set-up as "problematical".....which is about as damning as he gets about Porsches. Looking at old issues of "up fixen" there is at least one article about replacing that tab on the trans after it has broken off. While the 914 set-up is not the best in the world, it works for me. I use the Kennedy stage 1, 215mm, behind my little 2.7L It'll haze the 225 Hoosiers with no signs of slipage, tho. I can't see the 911 trans as an upgrade. |
