The first gear syncro is getting really bad in my street car 914, but no problem, I have a spare tranny I picked up a few years ago so thought I'd just swap them out. But the spare tranny didn't have a speedometer driveshaft in it. Tried to swap the driveshaft from my current tranny, but it didn't fit. It appears the diameter of the gear on the end of the shaft is too big. It locks up and won't spin as you push in the shaft and it's surrounding bushing with the 90 deg. cable drive. The two tranny's involved are different versions of the end case. Both are side shift. The original has no bottom access plate on the end cover. The spare does have an access plate. I wasn't aware that there were any differences in the internals. Am I missing something here? Any suggestions?
