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) |

Thanks for the reply!!!
Let me know how you make out. I'm still very curious how your ordeal turns out. I heard diferent stories that the throw out fork comes off the throw out bearing and then you have to somehow reach in through those holes to fix it. When I get some time I will try to troubleshoot my own clutch mess. But I promissed the wife I would finish the back yard, front yard and other honey do chores first. It could be months before I can dig into the beast again. But for now its tolerable and I'm having to much fun driving it. I have noticed that most 3.2 conversions either stay KEP or they win the lottery and go with the 916 conversion. take care and thanks for your help, Steve |
