I have a transmission in pieces with the gaskets removed. According to the Haynes manual, you pretty much have to have the intermediate plate shims to measure them and put the same measurement back (with new shims). This sets the pinion depth. According to them, you should not mess with this as you have to go to a Porsche mechanic for them to use a special tool to get this set right. There must be a way to do this at home (open up the differential cover and use a feeler gauge or something). Does anyone know what the "special" tool looks like? Is there a way to do it at home, what is the measurement?
Thanks, Chris 1973 914 2.0L BP |
