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?

Thanks, Rusty, and everyone else. Just got back from Baker Motors. Benz needed replacement sway bar bushings (damn Germans; jk (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) )
Anyway, nothing in the infamous book on '73 1.7L clutch replacement, but *the* mechanic figured about 10 hours, which the service advisor translated to about $1500 including parts. They were kind enough to answer the question of, who else in town does these? Couple places were given and I'll investigate, but with all the votes of confidence here, I may DIY. I've done a clutch on an '81 Datsun 200SX though I had a lift, several specialized jacks, air tools, and an extra set of hands, but it worked (except for 2nd gear chatter). Should I consider a bigger/better clutch, or just OEM? My four mice under the hood are puny and starved, but I can always hope, right? Underside is fairly clean - Did it manually prior to tackling the valve adjustments. |
