Hi everyone, After 2.5 years I have finally driven my 914. 
Runs good but needs some dialing in with the timing and carbs. But, I have to hold the shifter to keep it gear 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Didn't go any faster to hit 4 and 5.
Is this adjustable with the standard shift adjuster or is there another issue going on? 
Thanks all and I'll post video of the maiden run soon.

Brad, Is it a tail shifter or a side shifter? I would say a tail shifter might be able to adjust the linkage and replace the bushings but the side shifter maybe not because the have a more direct linkage. I've got a 901 gearbox all rebuilt on the bench now just waiting for someone to tell me if they want a tail or side shift internal linkage installed. AL

Hi Al,
Guess I should have said it’s a side shift. All new everything except the trans. Bought it from a member. Looking at the adjustment procedure it seems Odd that 1st and 2nd would pop. If I adjust either way it seems I might get one or the other but not both.
Just in case can you send me a PM with a price for your trans?
Thanks
