Don't beat yourself up. My inside driver door handle is still taped shut.

Well, sometimes procrastination pays off. I bought a full clutch kit for the '73 914 back in November because I was getting a chatter when I let off the clutch in 1st and 2nd gears. I figured it might be some oil from the rear main seal leaking onto the clutch plate because once I got moving, I didn't detect the clutch slipping at all. Since I drive the car somewhat regularly, it has now stopped chattering. The previous owner said he never drove the car much at all, so it probably did have a little oil accumulated on the clutch plate and now I've burned it off by driving the car. That doesn't change the fact that I've got a box full of $861.27 worth of parts (but who's counting?) on my workbench, but at least I've saved the effort for now of doing the work.

From the darkness to the light!

Now go put miles on it!

Ok so I need some advice.

I got Nickies so don't have to fret over scored liners

I got The Solution so don't have to lose sleep over the IMSB failing.

I got the UAOS so don't have to wonder when the AOS will fail and slug the cylinders with non-compressible oil.

I got mouse traps and dryer sheets all over the place so I no longer have "Gonzo" syndrome.

I have the upgraded ignition switch system so it should always start and the headlights should work.

What am I missing?

However, there is the battery and I haven't rerouted the emergence frunk cable...guess I won't be sleeping tonight.

Don’t spill a bottle of water on the floorboard or you might fry your immobilizer.
