(IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) I would if I could be there, but it's just way too far to travel. I have a 74 1.8 (engine and transmission out of the car) that will need clutch R&R before everything goes back in. Any chance you might document the upcoming clutch event with some pics for us novices?? Thanks

and this...


Herb, thanks for the pictures, and once again thank you very much for giving up your used flywheel for this clutch replacement. The end result is great. Since this is my first 914 I had never even felt the pedal feel of a clutch in good condition. It was remarkably different from what I had before. The clutch is now much lighter and the shudder is completely gone. I will need a few days to get used to it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Thanks also to the Evil Doctor and his new evil sidekick, Brian, for handling 99% of the work today. Yet again, another satisfied customer!

Just like last time, Matt and his wife did a wonderful job hosting the group. I'm glad his 914 saw great progress as well, and it is now running again.

Turnout stretched Matt's garage space to the limit, it was nice to see familiar faces and those I had not seen before. Thanks to everyone for making this a great day!

Side note: As part of the clutch replacement I also replaced the two transmission mounts. I had bought the 911-style mounts, which are cheaper, more solid and considered a longer-lasting replacement for the original 914 mounts. After driving 90 minutes on the freeway I'm not sure if that was the best choice. It turns out that the added stiffness also means a noticeable increase in vibration and engine/transmission noise transmitted into the passenger compartment. I'll keep them in for now, but will probably replace them with the real 914 mounts some time in the future since my 914 is a daily driver. Comfort beats raceability in my book.

A good time was had by all. Sorry we had to leave early but neede to spend some time with my mom since we were up this way. Jens I guess you want your old mounts back eh? Did our hosts car get refired and not hemorrage alll over the garage and blacktop? I have a special interest in that now. Especially after the debate.

I enjoyed it...too bad I could not hang out all day...

hope the flywheel works out. save the old one and have it refinished....they are not as common now as before.

I just could not see putting all new parts in with the flywheel in that condition...

Enjoy and send pictures when you get back home....I know we would all like to see your car on the autobahn....

Matt!

That was a good time, thanks for the hospitality!
Please thank your wife too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif)

Didn't take any pics I got busy putting parts back on your car the old school way so Evil could redo them his way. Hope the oil problem is solved. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

My thanks to all of you! Mike and Brian (not really "his tranny"), Jens, Herb, Welby, Rod, and Jim. We successfully put two 914's back on the road.

Welby, no leaks at all from my car. The "debate" may still be on but my car is dry so far. I have a few small items to finish top off gear oil and motor oil. Replace the hand brake, hook up the tachometer drive, and reattach all the heater pipes and blower fan.

Again, thanks to Mike and all of you for your help. It was a FUN and SUCCESSFUL afternoon!

This place does ROCK!

No worries, they're all yours. I have to start spreading the love I keep receiving (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Will be in touch this week when the steelies come in.
