So I'm test-fitting my engine and transmission in the car right now, and I'm having some problems. Perhaps someone can offer some advice.
Engine is a 2.7 liter, transmission is a 901 pull clutch, mount (for now) is a Patrick Motorsport piece. Issue #1: supposedly the clutch cable to use is a 72-74 911 unit. The sheath is a little short, though, and making a bracket isn't necessarily easy because part of the crankcase prevents me from having a straight shot. I have an idea of how to do this, but I'm wondering if anyone's done this before. Here's a pic: Attached image(s) |

Steve--
Do you still have that stock 914-6 hard return line? I've been looking for one and have so far come up cold. I've been trying to put this conversion all together "factory style" and I would prefer factory parts if I can get them. This transmission should work with your stock 3.2 setup---you just need to change the throwout bearing to the 70-71 style (tabs on the sides rather than a ring). I probably could muscle in the heat exchanger with the steel line, but I just want to pull it as far away from the exhaust as I can. As it is, it's contacting. Thanks for the interest. I'm flattered that you all are interested in my transmission; I thought almost all this had been done before. I'm really trying to remember where I saw a bracket made up on a car running this transmission. Argh. Where's Brad? I have a feeling he's seen this before. |
