hi ya'll
I'm working on a 1975 914, 1.8, 5 Spd
it needs a clutch so I removed the engine and trans so I could give them both a bath and service the engine bay too.
while cleaning the trans I discovered what you see in the attached photos. on top of a big blob of silicone caulk was a smaller sized but no less of a blob of JB weld. underneath that was what is shown in the pic of what looks like a washer and a brass disc. they are also spinning in that hole
the location of this "fix" is at he very back of the trans where the trans bolts to a cross brace which bolts to the the frame, just above the speedo drive in the center of what looks like a cover separate but bolted to the trans case. it was obvious it was put there to stop a leak as that area was covered with dirt and grease.
so my questions are what should that cover look like? what is the correct fix? can that cover just be removed for inspection/repair/replacement without having to dismantle the trans? also, any info anyone has on something like this.
thanks in advance.Attached Image

Been awhile since I've been into one....but it looks like someone tried to put it back together "wrong" and used a hammer to try and seat it. Then the shaft punched a hole in the housing. Should be able to find a used "end cap" and hope nothing else was damaged

You need to replace the rear cover, I think that is the shift rod coming out the back cover.

Part number depends on /6 /4 early or /4 late

edit

noticed something interesting.
part # on your casting is 914 301 302 00
parts catalogue says 914 301 032 00
can't easily see the part number cast into mine -up there with muffler bracket in the way.
another typo in the parts catalogue?

another typo to add to others that have been found.

Had a similar issue once. At some point someone tried to "torque" the the bolt that has the speedo gear in it to 80(?) ft lbs with a chisel. It backed out, and the trans effectively used the speedo gear to bore a hole in the cover while I was driving ~40mph. Talk about a mess to clean up...

I'd anticipate needing the aforementioned bolt with speedo gear in addition to the cover, and would try contacting the good @Dr Evil regarding good used parts and any info needed to fix it up. His website is https://www.evilwerks.com/

ok a bit of an update. took the back cover off and the attached pic shows what came with it. part of the speed o drive and a set of gears.
i'm not sure how to remove them. i can see what looks like a pin but i'm not sure if banging that out will do the trick and also, which way will it come out?
another concern is the needle bearings on the end of the gear. are those gonna go flying if im banging on the cover.
thanks for all the past help and i hope your still following along/Users/ginger/Desktop/IMG-2617.jpg

happened to me also once....
the trans had been rebuilt... the large nut on the mainshaft loosened up or wasn't torqued correctly....

during the drive it allowed the stack to slide backwards... drilled the brass speedo gear through the back cover... would shift in 2 gears at once, due to the stack shifting back and forth...


to the original poster...
those gears (including the needle bearing) will all lift out... or fall out if you turn the cover over....

lift them out... note the order...
put them into your new to you... replacement cover.

the gasket for that cover is easily available.
it does not change the diff depth.. so just bolt it on with a new gasket.

hey brant, thanks for the info. so those gears will just slide off the shaft and then the shaft comes out? also on the speedo drive in the case, i found the tapered bolt. is that the only thing holding the drive in the case?
you also said that in your experience, a bolt had come loose. how would i check mine?
i'm pretty well out of my depth with transmissions so any info would be great.

Gears slide off the shaft, and the shaft stays in the cover. Replacement cover should have the shaft already.

Tapered bolt on the outside of the cover and a bit of friction should be the only thing holding in that portion of the speedo drive. There is a replacement available that has 2 O-rings to prevent leakage. Replacement drive gear bushing

Bolt in question of coming loose is located in the end of the gear stack on the transmission. The speedo gear is attached in the end of it with a roll pin. Believe the head if the bolt is 30mm. Can be seen in THIS POST being held in Dave's(DNHunt) hand. Requires a deep socket to reach the head past the speedo gear. Check out the rest of his thread for a rough overview of how the parts you're working with go back together.

Over a half century many things can happen, including DAPO's ( and mechanic's) who sometimes in desperation do a bailing wire repair to get them home and never gets corrected properly.
