Hi Armando-
It’s been month’s since I’ve had a chance to look at your web site. I noticed something interesting in this photo.
Not sure if you are aware of it, It shows a 1970 /1971 911 transaxle with the 2.2Ltr. Throw out Bearing, Lever & Guide Tube. The picture is a little fuzzy, but there also appears to be a 225mm Flywheel mounted on the engine vs: the 215mm that originally came on the 914-6. I don’t see a clutch laying around, but it looks like this car was fitted with the 225mm “Pull” clutch assambly instead of the 215mm Push clutch.
My car was fitted the same way with the 2.8ltr. twin plug engine. Another unique thing this allows is a direct pull clutch cable thereby eliminating the 180 degree turn the clutch cable makes on the clothes line pulley mounted on the Ring Gear cover plate which would greatly extend the life of the clutch cable. Wonder if they used the beefier 2.2ltr. C.V. joints as well? Anyway, just FYI…
