I just rebuilt the 901 transaxle in my 911 -- new 904 mainshaft, new gears, synchros, bearings, etc. Everything went together well. On the bench everything shifted great and was clean. No hang-ups.
I put everything back in the case. Before installing the access-plate/fork that anchors the selector, I confirmed that all of the gears are in neutral. The selector rotates freely between the forks.
I put the transaxle in the car. In neutral, I can manually spin both axles forwards and backwards together. I can find all of the gears. When in gear, I can't turn the axles together.
I start the car with gearbox in neutral and the clutch in as usual, and the engine fires right up. As soon as I start to release the clutch, I can hear the engine loading up and the wheels start to slowly spin forward.
I know that I did something wrong, but where should I start looking once I get the gearbox out of the car (again!)? Has anyone ever run into a similar issue?
My guesses are...
1) Make sure that the shafts are tight to the intermediate plate
2) Check the clearances on each side of the selector forks
3) ????
What do you think? Suggestions?
