Wonder of wonders, my local dealership claims they work on 914s. It's Baker Porsche/Mercedes/Infiniti/Rover in Charleston (anyone know them at all?). I'm thinking of having the clutch replaced and someone more knowledgable than myself set the valves. Thoughts? Do I need the value size jar of Vaseline for the reaming I'll get?

QUOTE without another enthusiast around, would never consider dropping engine and undertaking what I consider a massive project - the clutch. Several years ago, I felt exactly the same way. There is a really good article and checklist on the PP website. You DON'T need to drop the engine to do a clutch job. Just the transmission. That's is just: 5 bolts on the bell housing. 2 bolts on the tranmission mounts 8 bolts on the CV joints and removing some cables and such. It's really one of the most satisifying jobs you can do in an afternoon on your 914. Support the engine from below, and then pull the transmission. Make sure you have a PSV (Porsche Support Vehicle) to take your transmission to the local quarter wash with a few cans of brake cleaner, and take the opportunity to really make it shine. Don't be intimidated. You're as smart as the guys who put the car together. All it takes is audacity. -Lawrence |
