Porsche 914 - How to Replace the Clutch and Flywheel

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Here's how I changed out the clutch, pressure plate and flywheel, and adjusted the crank end play on my 1974 914. More info and a link to the engine yoke below...
www.thesamba.com/vw//classifi...
Ideally, I would've balanced all rotating parts with the new flywheel, but that would require a total teardown of the engine, and this being just a mid-rpm street car, I don't think any imbalance in the flywheel will be meaningful. Fingers crossed!
Please keep in mind that I'm not a professional mechanic and no video can replace proper experience. Don't attempt this work if you're not confident in your abilities. As always, be safe and enjoy!

    When you replace the needle bearing, note, that the needle bearing must 3,2 mm deeper on the gearside of the flywheel. Thank you for all your 914-videos!

    Ian Karr - Lol, I’m rolling in KZread cash. Not to brag but I bring in hundreds and hundreds of pennies a month via Adsense and KZread. One day I’m gonna do some 914 videos - that should bring in the cash

    I'm on my third pressure plate, third flywheel, and second disk in my EV 914. I foolishly tried to avoid buying a stage III kit and used stock vw bug parts that I had (my motor adaptor is from a bug). I burned up the stock pressure plate and my first flywheel in a week of driving; then I tried a stage II kit from ebay, that lasted about 3 weeks. Then I finally got the memo and bought a 2600 lb Kennedy pressure plate, an nos flywheel, and I re-used the 4 puck disk. Problem solved, after four motor and transmission pulls of course (the first one was to see what kind of clutch I would need, Porsche or VW).

    Interesting. I assume the issue was the torque of the EV?

    You're really very good at this KZread thing! Great video quality, editing, and pace. I have this same job to do in the not to distant future, and this was very inspiring for me to get to it... I need to get a dial gauge - can you provide any info on what setup/product you're using?
