Looking for input here. Driving the 914-6 (3.0 w/side shift 901) this afternoon in 4th gear when I heard a "noise" or whine and smelled something "warm". Of course I slowed down and it did not occur again at low speeds. I was close to home so I got to the driveway and stopped to look into the problem. At this point the shifter would not move and when I let the clutch out it makes a unpleasant grinding noise. I had the wife steer and I pushed it into the garage.
A little background. The car has always had a little grind going into first and I noticed a little more "grind" than usual today if that means anything. I think it is serious because of the sound and odor thing. Possibly just a shifter thing? Probably not? Planning on pulling it and having it rebuilt most likely? Ideas? |

Found the problem. When we got it up on the stand we noticed a "bump" in the back of the rear housing? When the rear cover was removed the gear shaft bolt fell out. It looks like that bolt backed out. It drove the speedo gear backwards and of course broke the bolt where the brass speedo part is attached. No other damage.
Cleaned up, replaced the rear housing (ouch, but the internal damage to the housing is pretty bad, will make a good race car housing but the speedo part is gone) install a new gear shaft bolt and tightened it to spec, replaced the speedo drive and new oil. Attached image(s)
