Blew up the 2332cc in Dec ( http://www.germanlook.com/Forums/showthread.php?t=8535 ) , so the stocker is going in. Keeping the trans in, 'cause the bracing/straps/mounts and CV setup would be a pain to go back to stock.

Pulled it from under the bench after sitting for 6yrs. New exhaust, plugs, valve covers, clutch, pressure plate, adjust valves, and install some goodies from the 2L. Temp, oil pressure senders, and 1bolt drain plate.

Spent weekend stripping out the EFI, oil lines/tank, and alternator wiring. Rewire for the stock engine with generator. Stil need to do something about the tin/body i cut back on the side of the compartment for the 2L.

Sould be a easy install right?

So toss up the engine and it wouldn't draw in the last inch into the tranny. Heaterboxes hitting the rear brace. So strip those and order J-tubes. Get it in, wired, fuel, and exhaust. Try to fire nothing. Got spark, and carb not spraying. Fire the engine on quick start. Pull 34PICT-3 and rebuild. Fires up on fuel and can't get it to idle or easy rev. Now that carbs clean, the shaft is loosey goosey.

Take a glance underneath, huge oil slick! Pull motor and flywheel is loose? Gland nut finger tight? Pull it off, and WTF??? NO rear seal! No shims! AHHH dumbass! Pulled the shims for the 2L back then! Set endplay, install new rear main seal.





Now we need a carb. Get some 36 DRLA's from fellow GL'er, and have to "massage" stock shroud to fit. Setup linkage, pre-tune carbs and notice 1 idle air mixture screw is broke! Check to see if stuck in carb passage, all clear it's ok. Order a full set of 4 screws/spring/washers/o-rings!





Was suppose to be a easy install over a couple weekends. What's next? Will the gen charge?

Motor back in and the carbs fired up yesterday. Set the timing and it sounds healthy and snappy. Really pleased. So adjust the clutch cable, and try to put in first gear. Won't go in! Apply a litle bit of pressure, and it squeals! Still not going in. Does this in every gear. Shut down the motor, and i can put it in all gears. So roll it back and forth, clutch in and out, yup, its engaging. Fire it up, still a no-go. When bolting in the tranny, the last 3-4mm of the engine mating to the tranny was tight.

The tranny worked well with the 2L. The engine is stock flywheel, chromo Scat glandnut with new disk and pressure plate. The pressure plate looked odd with like 8 fat fingers. My Kep stage 1 has like 15 or so small fingers. Could the PP be the problem?

I'm gonna drop it AGAIN and try mate the engine to Sandeep's old type1 trans and see why it's tight coming together. Gonna bolt up the stage1 from the 2L.

You guys have any ideas?
