496 viewsThis is what I saw when on the tanny end when I removed the tail cover. That dumbbell looking gear stack directly in front is what goes on the shaft that is inside the tail cover.

486 viewsClose-up of the belt locking clip. The seat belt tongue just clears the steel bar of the car seat. Notice how far down the car seat is in the 914 seat. The seat belt locking clip holds the car seat down so it won't tip during tight corners!

474 viewsMy rebuilt tranny still had oil in it. But tipping it on it's bell-housing would let the oil leak out the breather port. So I pushed a plug into the hole on the breather and securly zip-tied it. Worked perfectly to hold the oil in while I swapped tail covers.

470 viewsSince there is no notch to hold the retaining bolt I welded on a tab. It keeps the bolt from rotating when removing/applying the retaining nut.

467 viewsSolution: 1/8" cork gasket with a 1/16" stainless-steel washer under each mounting ear. This is a spacer, not really a gasket. The gasket material is used to hold the washers (well, along with some Gas-A-Cinch) and help prevent the mounting ears from getting torque stress during starting.
