				901 Trans Problem
			 
			
			Hello, 
		
	
		
	
			
				I got the transmission on the bench tonight. Just to clean it up get the old grease off of it and I noticed that when I turn it will turn smooth for almost 1 whole revolution. Then it kind of binds up for a second. It will do this in every gear and in neutral. Do I need to hold off on puting the motor back in and get this fixed or?? It’s the original one from my 71` 911 T, when I drove the car (been 2 years now) the trany felt a little wore out, but didn’t grind or make a ton of noise. Thanks, Kyle  |

			Do you still have the bolts that hold the output flanges installed?   Depending on the configuration of the transaxle, they have a teat on them which  holds the center shaft of the differential in place.  If you take these bolts out, that shaft can slide down and interfere with the case.

					If I loosen up the bolts on the front cover just a tiny bit, it turns smooth as silk. What the hell is going on with this thing?  |
