okay....last weekend my car would crap four quarter-sized puddles of tranny oil....
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif) so i go today to FLAPS to see about getting some O-rings....(it's like a quart or so low) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/yawn.gif) find them, bought a gallon of tranny oil to top it off with....go to undo the speedo drive and.... SPLAT! goes a full Trinity Shamrocks cup full of tranny fluid. excellent (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ar15.gif) ok...i find a o-ring that fits...put the speedo drive back in and...huh? what's that wire thing coming out of the bolt to tighten the sender down??? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ar15.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ar15.gif) The helicoil broke.....and the bolt is a gonner. *SIGH* go in and buy the helicoil repair kit...i have like no money left. and go out and begin tapping the hole and putting in the helicoil insert in like 25 degree weather...it lasted two hours. but its back, and the helicoil was fun....once it worked. pictures will come tomorrow. b |

================================= Tech Tip 312: before removing the speedo drive shaft, jack up the rear of the car as high as possible to avoid spilling of transmission oil. ================================= (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Andy |

It's great on sandwiches with a beer chaser. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/icon8.gif) ............. It's even better when the wind is blowing 10000000 mph at Willow and you get "crunchy" sandwiches. Hi John |

i just wasnt thinking...i should have known that the event would have happened.
it was kinda funny though. the whole time i said "could this day get any better?" and it did. both when i lost the transmission oil and when the bolt messed up. good part is that i flushed my transmission oil....looked a little 30 years old to me. i sjhowitson, almost went your path. Just walked away..... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer3.gif) oh and thanks slits for your 2 cents.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/tongue.gif) andy i have nothing to comment about your post. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/tongue.gif) john....

Britt, I won't chuckle or laugh or any of that. I spent the better part of my highschool years screwing up things on my car. I acutally pulle the driveshaft out of a 69 firebird with the transmission overfull of fluid. WAY overfull. Needless to say I was downstream of the red deluge that came out the back of the transmission. My father was pissed about the red stain on the driveway, and my mother was pissed that I stained the bathtub red and clogged the drain cleaning myself up. Remember, you are learning from all this. You have a lot of friends here with more experience than you, which is a big advantage. When I was learning all I had was a book and the hearsay of the guys my age. And most of that was wrong info. We will always help out. Just be persistent. We know you can do it. |

which bolt did you strip?
how did you keep metal chunks from going into the case when tapping it???? did you change fluid after? so it was leaking out the speedo drive oring? i pulled the oil filter off my motor and all the oil back fed from the front cooler into the sandwhich pate... onto me and my driveway. lucky i was wearing my CDOC coveralls....

i appreciate everyone here, if you all weren't here....i dunno what i'd be doing, or driving for that matter. the worst part was the cold. it was intresting to see how the helicoil works. b |

nothing i stripped there was. a buggered bolt was put into a clipped helicoil and mashed into my transmission...the bolt holds the speedo drive in place. the fluid leaked out of the o-ring. a FLAPS pack of assorted orings proved useful to find a replacement. well AA, if you ever do what i did, the hole where the bolt goes is actually open...so i was able to clean the metal shavings out....some people use heavy grease to make the filings stick. i was able to clean it out very well. everything worked out fine..i'll even take pics! AA, you need a check valve for that oil line. b |

tranny shifts fine. 2nd still grinds a tiny bit when cold, but borrowing 3rd works. no leaks. and no more bouncy speedo. b |

Yeah, that speedo retaining screw is a PITA most of the time. I'm not sure if they were HeliCoiled from the factory, but every one I've seen so far has been. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)
Congrats on your success though. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif) That's what it's all about. |

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) Wait a minute. You fixed the oil leak from the engine, correct?? Now you,ve fixed the leak on the tranny correct? That would mean you have a non-leaking 914??? I ain't buying it (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) That would be a leak free Porsche AND a leak free VW. Not possible no way, nuh-uh
You have come a long way young Dodd. Now your journey must continue alone. For only you can find the torque......... |
