So I was running up to the store to drop off some Red Box movies, and pulling away from a stop sign I heard a loud pop....then the car stopped moving. The engine was still running and idling fine, but when I put it into 1st again and tried to pull away, the car didn't move and I could hear a sound like rocks in a rock tumbler. I'm guessing clutch pieces rattling around the bell housing?
I tried just shifting through the gears while stopped and I could find every gear fine, so I'm hoping it's nothing internal to the trans. Luckily this happened just a few hundred yards from my house in my neighborhood so getting it back to my house was easy. I'm going to have it towed to a local aircooled shop. But does this sound like a clutch disc that shattered, or possibly something more serious? Of course this had to happen just after I sold my Karmann Ghia, so I have no other means of transport except to borrow my girlfriend's car! |

Are the stub axles not interchangeable between 914 and 911?
So if, for example, I ordered that axle assembly pictured above from Tangerine, would I need to buy it with the stub axle? So this is my other axle, which doesn't have a weld like the one that broke. Does this also have 911 CV's? What are the visual clues to differentiate between 914 and 911 CV's and stub axles? Sorry for all the questions, this is new territory for me! Attached thumbnail(s) |

Sorry for all the questions, this is new territory for me! If you ordered a 914 axle with 914 CV's it will not fit. 911 and 914 hubs ,CV's, stub axles and axles have a different spline count. It looks like 911 CV's. 914 are 94 mm and 911 are are 108mm. The 911 CV's take a bolt with a 8mm allen head.. If you have 911 CV's the trans flanges are larger to match the CV. The 911 CV go on a bigger axle too. You probably have 911 parts. You can have drilled rotors that were put on 911 flanges. Probably have a 911 axle on the drivers side. The length is not ideal for a 914. |
