The doctor came by yesterday, to help me get my teener shifting again.

My tranny is not so bad, but he found a few things,

all wrong bolts holding the exhaust togeather, rusted to crap, even different lenghts, one was as much as 2 inch longer

oil filtre was not screwd on

no gaskets on either side of CVs

Almost no bushings at all in the firewall, ball socket or anywhere in the shift linkage

few parts broken off the starter,

exhaust was not secured to the block at all (that explains the backfireing on decel)

inside the tranny he showed me the same clear silicon that is throught the engine case, when it was rebuilt by dapo

there was also a lake in the engine compartment drivers side shelf, i did not know there was a drain there.

loose bolts on the clutch plate

i probably forgot some things.... but WOW

This car was my daily driver, 125 miles per day untill 3 days ago.

Some people should not be allowed to drive 914s (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif)


Say what you want, i deserve it. But mabey someone could learn somthing from my example. I am very lucky.

where would i be without you guys
