Have some movement @ the front securing bracket ,is that normal or is it starting to break ?
Reason I ask is I have had to adjust my new clutch several times,maybe my new cable is continually stretching as I have set to correct freeplay on every occasion. Had my gearbox out to replace input shaft seal and besides minor oil contamination (cleaned up ) it was well....a new clutch. TIA |

Do the research on old postings. I find that it is easer to look up questions on Google asking something like “clutch tube lose on 914 Porsche”
I find it is much easer that using the search engine in on our site. Look at all the pictures and people show their different fixes for this problem. To fix it for the longer run as I said you have to open it up but you may use a U bolt and nuts for a somewhat long fix. See what that looks like. With that fix there is no welding just drilling and bolting. My 6 was fixed that way when I got it and I have no idea if it worked right or for how long. I fixed it right when I went in for the full restoration of her. You have to be very careful in any drilling or cutting because of possible damage or fire. It is hard to see clearly in your picture, as it is too dark. Bob B |
