Hey Jim,
The clutch is working but I just want to make sure the two plates have equal clearance. I've heard that can have an effect on clutch feel. I can feel the clutch start grabbing...

Thanks Guys, it looks like I'll have to disconnect the exhaust and get one of those swivel sockets.

I've been meaning to check the dual plate clutch on my '86 to see if its properly adjusted, and I noticed that some of the bolt heads are blocked by the headers/cat. Do you have to remove the...

Hey Steve, I think I'll try grinding the hex driver flat. I did notice that the ends on mine were beveled, but my plug is most of the way stripped by now, so I'm not sure how much that'll help. ...

Question 5sp Tranny fill plug stuck, replace or bypass?

I've managed to loosen both drain plugs on my tranny, but the fill plug looks like its stripped. I believe the proper procedure is to remove the rear cover with the tranny in the car, and deal with...

I guess I need to do a little more diagnosis before I go replacing stuff. If the overflow hose is routed straight down, I'm not sure where the coolant was coming from. Thanks for all the...

Yes, all 901 5-speed trannys have the dog leg. I just recall that some of the older 901's may have come in 4-speed, which is just missing the low gear (thus not dogleg, just normal H).

Hi Brendan,
I believe the 901 is more or less plug and play with the 915, as I have heard of people with '70 & '71 911's who have put in a more recent engine in their 911's. After '69 Porsche...

Hi, There's no spring. If you're having trouble finding your gears it sounds like your shift linkage may be out of adjustment, or need new bushings.

Having an SC with worn synchros I've been steadily improving my double clutching skills. I've almost got it so the 3 to 2 downshift is usable. I have heard that double clutching will also help a...
