The pressure plate was machined too much.
It works great now! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) It sure is ashamed that you had to go through all of that agony first though. You are the man probably can now do a 914 clutch job in 45 minutes! These days the clutch parts are so old and have been machined so many times that they have about had it. Especially the flywheels! Too bad because new flywheels are very very expensive and always take a beating when the 914 clutch starts to slip. |

I'm just glad they helped me out. I'm sure it's not the first time a shop has cut a piece wrong. I went over and saw George and went through everything over the weekend. He said it had to be something in the mechanism and to bring it back. So I did and he looked at everything and found the pressure plate to be out of spec. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) So, I got the new part along with other things I'd need to put it all back together one last time and I am happy! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) I did buy the kit with rebuilt parts instead of springing for new parts... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) |

I had the exact same issue with mine a couple years ago. After pulling out the tranny(and all my hair) 4 times I learned my lesson....
Never use a "rebuilt" pressure plate QUOTE(ripper911 @ Aug 31 2010, 02:32 PM) The pressure plate was machined too much. It works great now! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

Lemme get this clear. THE PRESSURE PLATE WAS MACHINED TOO MUCH? Who machines pressure plates? And if it was actually the flywheel, not the pressure plate, any professional machinist with the slightest bit of Porsche experience should know how to machine a 914 flywheel, as well as how to determine whether to save it or throw it away.

I have to agree (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) with Ron on this one. No excuse for a professional bus. to send a flywheel out of specs to a customer...no excuse. Sorry to say, but that's why we buy parts from reputable places...so you don't have to guess whether a newly machined part has been taken down too much. |
