Garage Time - DIY Porsche Restoration

The can of worms is open on my Porsche 356 transmission rebuild. This trans is a very good core all things considered. Just a few parts need to be replaced such as the pinion bearing, one or two synchros and fourth gear dog teeth. Wish me luck!

What I really appreciate is the full method, including the missteps or second thought moments, shown for the whole procedure.

Thanks Jon. This clearly is my first time playing with a transmission. I'm just going slow and making sure I understand everything.

Awesome. You’re much braver than me. I will take anything apart…but putting it back together is where I can sometimes fall short. 😬

Putting it back together is the harder part.

Thank you! Not everyone thinks it's fascinating, my wife is one of them, ha ha.

Great Job!! Look forward to seeing more of your videos. Not much available on going through 356 transmissions online that I have seen. Keep going!

Thank you! Will keep the trans series going, I'm just a bit behind on video releases at the moment.

Love you videos. This one is no exception. Even though I'm a VW Super Beetle guy, seeing the internals of your items gives me an IDEA of what I'm up against.

While I haven't taken apart a late VW Transaxle, I think they are very similar. In fact many of the parts on mine are stamped VW which isn't surprising

You have confirmed my belief that I could never rebuild a tranny myself. I'll take it to the experts if ever needed. 🙂

@GarageTimeAutoResto 2 жыл бұрын

And that is totally ok. Thanks for watching so it's clear what's involved. For some strange reason this is fun for me. It's a very interesting piece of assembled metal. Some people like sanding and some people like mechanical things. I'm the latter.

You just have to be a very methodical person, label everything and take lots of pictures.

Or video is even better 🤣

I actually did successfully rebuild my 1964 VW beetle engine 43 years ago. So, I do understand *some* of what it takes to rebuild the tranny. But I am sure with all the measuring specifics, press fits, and detail, I would fail, or build a noisy tranny. I wasn't even that good at adjusting my valves--was that tight enough? Too tight? LOL.

@douglasmccowen27 2 жыл бұрын

Really good video, if you have one of these Trans to take apart. I was wondering if someone put that together using a threadlocker. All the nuts seemed way too tight.

@GarageTimeAutoResto 2 жыл бұрын

Might have thread locker for sure. Not sure why because it had cotter pins also. My guess is someone with an impact wrench was in a hurry. The manual says to torque to 115 ft-lbs to seat the gears and bearings and then loosen and retorque to 72 ft-lbs. Maybe they forgot that step? Or maybe they tried to influence the pinion depth without using shims/gaskets. (Also someone in a hurry) This trans can tell a lot of stories if you think about it long enough. Ask me how I know?🤣 Bottom line is the pros makes mistakes too. Sometimes intentionally...

I replaced my 78 SC clutch release lever. The original lever has a pin that fasten it to the shaft. The new lever that I purchased did not have that pin hole. I did not replace the clutch release shaft. The new lever does not have a pin hole for fastening. to the shaft. The new lever slides onto the original shaft easily. However when depressing the clutch pedal it does not return to normal operation position. The new clutch release lever without the pin fastener may have been a change/replacement. Is it the pin that prevent the clutch release lever from rotating on the shaft and helps the clutch to return the pedal and lever to the normal position. How is this done with levers that does not have a pin fastener? Do you have any information on why Porsche have release levers with pins and why they went to levers without the pin. Both have the horseshoe spring.

Hi, I don't have direct experience with this clutch lever, but the roll pins are important. I'd be nervous using the new one without a strong way to keep it from rotating.
