great helpful video thank you!... im also amazed at how white your shirt is, anytime i step into the garage i seem to be instantly covered in oil and grease!
Good stuff. Pretty sure you shouldn't use Loctite 574 on the part with the paper gasket. 574 needs to have metal to metal contact to cure. Probably didn't hurt but it shouldn't be necessary. You could use something like a non hardening aviation gasket with a paper gasket.
Yes, I agree! I am hopeful that it will still seal and that the only downside will be a massive headache scraping off that paper gasket if I have to disassemble it again.
The 944 content we need

Ha! I should use the same shirt each video so you can see it slowly turn into a black greasy mess.
Great video. Motivated me to just pull the tranny and reseal it instead of solving one axle seal thats leaking
Great to hear!
Very nice, I did a reseal on mine last year. Wish this video was around then, not much content on the transaxle! Very informative 👏

@@944restore Interesting that the side diff cover doesn't use an o-ring like my 968 transaxle
Agreed. The early 944s had a seal as well. Workshop manual says it was discontinued in June, 1984.
Nice crisp video, love it. What gear oil did you put back in?
Motul Gear 300. The car is still in pieces so unfortunately I can't comment on how well it's performing.
How would you remove the diff? Just pull it out after the input shaft?
Exactly right. After the main carrier (input shaft) is removed, remove the side cover and pull out the diff.
can i ask what the story is with your transmission mounts? have you replaced the rubbers somehow? cheers!
The rubber on the mounts are original. I did add urethane to stiffen them up a bit.
