Hi,
I have the silver bullet ('74 2.0 - garaged since '84, just purchased and refreshed - lots of welding) running and I do not like the clutch feel. In my past 914s, the clutch feel was a lot of pressure for the first 1/2 of the pedal travel and then the pressure nearly went away once the pedal traveled close to the floor. This cars clutch is stiff all the way down to the floor, I believe that the top inch or two is just spring tension. I went under the car to tighten the cable and found myself wondering what the forum might say. Questions: 1. Is there a correct feel, or should all be different? 2. Though the cable looks very good (not frayed, etc) how much can they stretch? Do they stretch? 3. Any other advice on this would be helpful. Long on knowledge - Short on experience, CTC911CTC |

That firewall where the rubber cover came loose looks pretty good considering the age and more especially your location. New bushings at the Ujoint by the firewall, the single one the transmission which you pictured already and new cone screws are the key. Do them all then your off the hook for another 30K miles or so.
