Hi Folks,
I'm setting up my 914-6 GT conversion with a new GT LSD and have two questions about the carrier bearing offset. Here's the skinny... 1. I have the early 911 factory manuals instead of the 914 factory manuals so the ring is on the differential cover side instead of the drivers side. 2. Bearing preload is a simple affair if you have a good bearing-shim assortment and a way NOT to destroy the bearings as you put 'em on and off. Bearing shims are referred to as S1 and S2. Their combined thickness creates the bearing preload with the cover torqued down. Once that preload (S1 + S2= x mm) is known... 3. In the 911 manual, the ring offset is .1mm (~ .004 in) off-center TOWARD the diff-cover by installing a thinner S1 shim, and a thicker S2 shim. 4. In our 914's the ring is on the opposite (driver's) side from the diff-cover. Can someone with the factory manual confirm that the .1mm offset will be away from the differential cover and, for that matter, that it is still .1mm? Pinion depth after that... Thanks for the assist! Ron |
