send an email to roger.stopford@gmail.com
he has a group of 944 owners who get together and help each other and lend tools etc. they do an email group

gas is probably coming from the hatch...where the filler tube goes.

Ok broke something in the trans axil. Diff seems to be working I'm guessing it's the gear box. Any suggestions on where I should go?

explain what's happening... have seen a number of axle bolts back out over the years...

OK Here is what happend and whats going on now.

I was a dumb *** I already know that .

I was in first gear at about 5-6K rpm and The tires didn't break traction then there was a loud bang and the trans started clunking as I rolled to a stop.

now whats going on. trying to roll the car only allows for a foot or 2 before something locks up in neutral.
Jacked up off both rear wheels if you spin one the other spins in the other direction and there is no noise everything seems good.
once the car is in first gear and you do the same thing the trans will click 2x for every full rotation of the wheel.
I tried spinning the wheel faster by hand and when i did the clicking became more of a bang and i stopped after the first one.
I would love to get this car back on the road ASAP but I am hoping to not have to pay $3000+ to make it happen.

Also the car can move under its own power and first and reverse, I haven't tried any other gears. but it is painful to hear.

Any thoughts would be appreciated. I have no issue paying if anyone here wants to try and tackle this for me. I don't have a lift or the tools to get into this scope of issue.

I think you busted the R and P if it isn't cv joints
You need to get on a 944 tech forum in the water cooled section.
This isn't an American muscle car. Unfortunately you are learning the hard way

K1e1v1i1n, you should be able to find a use 944 tranny fairly cheap but all will have milage.

Call Whaletail or Mantis see if they have any used ones kicking around.

Good Luck

Thanks I will look into that.

I repeat... go to the 924-944-968 forum, almost everything you need is there in previous threads and lots of knowledgeable people to answer questions.

next, as mentioned above, Clark's garage - detailed instructions on troubleshooting and repairing.

If the problem is the transmission and you find a one, installation is not that difficult... I did it working alone with the car on jack stands. A transmission jack makes it easier.

Take advantage of this.

If you don't know that the timing belt has been changed recently then change it while the car is off the road. Timing and balance shaft belts, rollers, seals and water pump are insurance against bent valves and a head rebuild.

The story of my 924S (same mechanics as the early 944) may interest you.

The trans was changed out and I am back on the road.

theiceman

Sounds like it indeed was the R and P

fenixv8

If you dont know when timing belt was done it should probably be higher on your to do list? arn't 944 motors interference type motors?

theiceman

yup they sure are , like just about every single motor out there today !!!
