Transaxle rebuild
How difficult is it for a *weekend wrench* to rebuild the 901 transaxle? Any special tools or knowledge needed?
I've been shifting my stock 74 914 into 2nd s-l-o-w-l-y for about 6 months now to avoid grinding gears, works ok so far...I am pretty sure my 2nd gear synchros need replacement. Too bad I just replaced my 1st gear synchros a year ago...if I'd known then, I would have replaced the 2nd gear synchros at that time.
I have other minor problems which add up...no reverse tail lights, a failing front trans main seal (oil leaks), leaking shifter shaft seal at the shift console, leaking speedo angle drive (it has a new seal already but still leaks)...maybe the other synchros need replacing...(I'm at 100K miles on the odo).
If I have to remove the transaxle again, I am contemplating replacing all the seals and synchros and any worn gear parts...but don't want to get in over my head...
Any advice?
