After receiving admonishment from two mechanics about driving around with a resonant frequency, I dropped the transmission out of the 914 and gave it to the experts at Rennsport Systems this morning for a precision overhaul. This is the fourth time dropping the motor/tranny, so I was able to do the whole process in less than an hour. Giving up the tranny was an ego battle for me because I had spent so much time rebuilding the transmission in the first place.
Rennsport deals with racing Porsches, so I suspect I insulted their intelligence when I said the electric motor only puts out 72 ft/lbs of torque and rattled at a "low" RPM of 5400. Anyway, my time is getting more valuable these days and I just want this thing working. They said they'd get to it at the start of November. I've got hairdryers and a fuel gauge to work on in the meantime, possibly even an MP3 player...
