Always remove the tranny filler plug (17mm inhex) BEFORE you drain it. If it's stuck, you can't refill the tranny.

Follow this advice (all of it really) - I didn't and found the hex was so tore up that it was impossible to remove. Fortunately I have a Mig welder and was able to weld a 17mm allen wrench to the plug and get it out. With out the Mig I would have been hosed.

Hey! I just followed that link, and it leads you to the Pelican Parts easy valve adjustment procedure, difficulty level 3. Right off the bat, he tells you to support one side of the car by placing a jack stand under the engine support crossbar. BAD ADVICE. He follows that with a description of what has to be the most difficult and labor intensive scheme for adjusting the valves I've ever read. Some of us sell parts, and others of us wrench on 914s (and other Porsches) for a living. I hope the other articles are more closely related to reality ..................................

So Cap'n...the $914 is....what is the RIGHT procedure? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)



As I mentioned in my first reply, it's in the classic threads section. Here's a link so you don't have to work at it too hard!

I haven't looked at it in a while, and there may be some things that need attention, but the basics are there.

Nobody maintains their cars because they are all up on jackstands waiting for rust to be fixed and parts to be put back on.

That way, a valve adjustment lasts forever, and the oil doesn't need changing.
