So the last couple of times I parked my 914 on a slight incline in first gear it still rolls- although not 'freely'. I guess this could be a sign of a clutch starting to go, but I've had no problem when driving it. When it rolls it moves as though it's still in gear (flywheel moves- I think that's the correct way to describe it). It rolls just a little, then catches, then stops and then a few seconds later, moves again briefly. Reminds me of moving the car in gear to in order to move the flywheel to set the timing- although I always did this in 3rd gear because i couldn't get it to move in 1st.
It wouldn't be so bad if my e- brake didn't need adjusting (next on the list now...) Thoughts? Ideas? Thanks!! |
