Thank you Kevin, I will have sent it to you if I had seen this post earlier. The car is presently in a workshop getting several things fixed, including the gearbox.

Sounds good! Let me know if I c ...

Palin, I am rebuilding G31 transmissions, if a US-based option is workable for you.

Yes, each gear is a pair: a fixed and a floating (also called shifting) gear. The dog teeth are pressed onto the ...

Yeah, unless someone's serviced them before, they are all beat to snot at present and not working as intended. I rebuilt an '85 a couple weeks ago that had basically no break-away torque. The good ne ...

They exist but are scarce. For the snailshell (016/Y or Z, or G31.01 or .02) made by Getrag, the same LSD as used in the 911 series type 915 transmission was used. They are all but impossible to fin ...

You need to re-establish both the differential carrier bearing preload (turning torque) and the ring-to-pinion backlash. Both are critical to the longevity of the associated parts. Which is to say, ...

Probably the DME relay.. Just a guess but a good place to start..

Yup, that's where I'd start in my diagnosis. Good luck!

0 280 130 214 has been superseded to F 026 T03 100 by Bosch, and that part is available from them, MSRP $246.20. My wholesaler has 16 in stock at the moment.

Hi Leigh, great chatting with you today! I found the following link to Peter Tinucci's excellent article posted on Ideola's Garage:

I’ve just had a small run of first gear synchros and first/second/third gear dog rings made, at the request of a customer, for 924 type 016/Y code VA and 016/Z code VB transmissions. Porsche’s part n ...

Thank you, Kevin. Can you believe that it is so hard in this case to actually figure that out?!

Well, if you don't fiddle with transmissions all the time, yeah, it could take a little figuring ...

If the sound is coming from inside the transmission, you have either a broken ring and pinion or broken differential, best guess.

It's been about four years since I last rebuilt a 924 type YR or XT four-speed transmission. At the end of '14, I picked up the last pair of pinion shaft bearings Porsche had, and since then they have ...

Bureau, thanks, that makes a lot of sense!

Well, what do you know. Continental provides guidance in this informational document https://www.carid.com/images/continental-contitech/info/pdfs/practical-tech-tips.pdf. (It includes mention of usi ...

I agree that the 90 degree twist method is pretty vague, unless you've done a whole lot of them and have developed a good feel. The factory workshop manual also cites the 90 degree twist method.
