I am inching the 6-conversion towards completion and this weekend it will be around freezing so it will be warm enough to work in the garage (heated up to 50 degrees). So I am getting the custom (home) made rod and spherical bearing into place through my bronze bushing at the side shift and all is well. Run through a few test shifts - great. But now it is stuck in what I think is 4th.
Dammit
So with all of the linkage disconnected it is still stuck. Kicked the started over a few times and still stuck. This is my second 914 tranny and 3rd overall and I was meticulous in my building. It went through the gears on the bench and even when I got bored with things and tried it after installation. Any likely suspects? New or perhaps like-new friction rings, so I know that can produce a lot of grab at first. Also, how much force is too much force on the shifter shaft coming out of the side?
Guess I am gonna shift to putting in the torsion springs, rear shocks, and the suction flaps under the car. Of course the bearings seized on my bandsaw a half hour previous.
I can pull that console off, but the tranny is full of oil. Thanks mates!! Or whatever that would be in American english.
Edit and bump. It is reverse it be stuck in. Yarrghhhh.
'Cmon, I am on a concrete floor here trying to find shifting bliss. Any help?
It may need to have the shifter console removed.
How did you align the shifter forks?
You will have to remove the console to fix it. The shift lever has run over (past) the shift fork lever. You will need to remove the console and manually push the shift fork back to neutral. That shift fork is probably out of position and this may happen again.
