My clutch tube looked bad at the firewall...
 ...but the tube was secure in the tunnel. So I figured I might get away with some JB Weld plugging the firewall......BZZZZT!....WROOOOOONG!....Memories from 42 years ago of my never to be forgotten drill instructor hollering, "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING, ASSBAG??!!!" caused me to assume the position and begin pushups forever. Once I recovered my confidence I thought I'd offer morning donuts, or afternoon BBQ and several 914 experts would show up with welders and I'd be able to take a drive to happy hour at Sonic drive-in for half price burgers after 5PM. Then I remembered that this is Oklahoma and it would take more than donuts and beer to lure the experts from the coast to bail me out. So I came up with this little gem...  |

Mine had a thick plate somewhat larger than yours when i got it, when removing the shifter I noted that the clutch tube had a groove worn into it by the shifter (it was on the WRONG side of the shifter !!
I did a clamp at the forward end fashioned from an electrical tube clamp re-sized for a good fit over the clutch tube, then bolted to the tunnel side.   |
