Now I don't want the "15 minute Oil Cooler Seal" Replacement Hoax (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)
I have a grindy going into second gear and that is it. The gates are tight everywhere, linkage is great, bushings seem fine. How difficult is it to go into the tranny and update some worn bits? As a frame of reference, I have taken the engine out, did some fuel line and injector stuff, oil cooler seals, valve adjustments, exhaust and heating stuff...minor yet somewhat brave for a newbie. I have no problems spending cash, but I would love to give this a go if it is do-able. Please help me decide --> is it something I should do or farm out??? Cheers T |

Parts do add up in a hurry if they are bad. All 6 bearings will cost close to a grand to replace, but it is rare that more than 3 or 4 of them will need it. But there really isn't much risk in going in there and trying it yourself. If your tranny is totally bagged out, our shop always has rebuilt 914 boxes on the shelf at $1850 w/exchange. If you get in there and there is way too much wrong, you can still send us your core in pieces for exchange. Or, good used boxes are always around on E-bay, here in the classifieds, and places like Parts Heaven for substantially less $$$. So, go for it...
