Well,
This week I got the 914 back on the road. Drove great monday. Clutch still needed to be depressed to far to the floor to shift well (I do have a clutch stop in now on an engman pedal board). Adjusted it some monday night but this morning i still had to go completely to the floor to get it in 1st/reverse...etc. On the way home today it slowly got worse to finally putting the clutch all the way in only ground gears. Clutch itself seems fine as there is no slipping. In checking out the movement once I got it home (wifey manning the clutch pedal) the clutch fork doesn't move much...the clutch cable doesn't move much around that wheel...the clutch cable itself seems to be flexing alot...where it enters the center tunnel is stable as a rock (no movement there). So I'm guessing I need a new clutch cable (this one is old, and sat on the car while this thing sat in the desert for 6 years) and probably should rebuild the pedal cluster (spring action seemed weak). Good guesses or should I check other stuff? Jim |
