murf Posted 16June, 2013 Report Share Posted 16June, 2013 It was called breather / bleeder depending on which porsche person you ask - I've got a replacement I need to fit. A woodgrain steering wheel to fit / I bought silicon gaskets so they need to go in. I've also got a noise in my clutch that grinds when the car is warm getting it into gear - needs to be shorted, it shifts fine between gears. All since I've not driven it on a daily basis. Any thoughts on the issue wasserkuhl? I am in no way mechanically minded - what so ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasserkuhl Posted 17June, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 17June, 2013 Grinding of gears could be : 1) Clutch needs to be adjusted as its not fully engaged when the pedal is depressed(Simple and Cheap) 2) Shift Joint/Shifter needs new Bushes and adjustment(Simple and about 50 Bucks in parts and 2 Hours Labour cost) 3) Clutch is failed or worn past its best (Simple but time consuming and expensive $500 new Clutch + 5Hrs Labour) 4) Engine and Transmission mounts may need replacing as well if they are worn/cracked. (Simple and cheapish dependant on what Mounts you have ; if you have a 1966 Build they should be 4 Block mounts at rear of engine and two Block mounts at Transmission) or the bonus answer "All of the above". OEM Porsche Woodgrain steering wheel= $$$$ Can you pm me your chassis #? does it start with a "3" or a "4" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
