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?

Clutches are not hard....just time consuming. Once you've done it a few times it's a piece of cake.
Take your time, save the beer until you are done, make sure that you have the right tools, right parts and think safety. Make sure you have an idiot book and a number of the closest 914 club poster ready. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Good Luck. BTW....I HATE valve adjustments.....my guy does it for 1 gallon of Jack Daniels..... |
