I hope you have the correct type 4 starter as there are two versions. From what I remember they are called "long shaft" as for a bus and "short shaft" for the 914 models. Back in 2000 or so I bought a replacement starter for my 914 before we did the six conversion and got the bus starter by mistake and at an autocross the engine started but the gear did not disengage so as soon as I hit 6K in first gear the starter exploded and caused the engine to appear to lock up! Scared the hell out of me for sure.
Somewhere on the site here there are the dimensions on the gear and shaft so you can check. I might these backwards as it has been a few years.......
