Just recently bought a 1976 914 that was wrecked to the rt rear quarter panel, hard enough that is pushed the motor and tranny to the left. The shift rod looked like it was bent so I got another one hoping that it would cure my problem. The problem is the tranny will not go into reverse, the shifter will just not the tranny and it doesn;t seem to want to go into 5th gear I have not drove it on the street yet so I don't know if this is completly true. Is there any adjustment for the shifter?? any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks

HERE is a link to a search for "shifter" and "adjust", turns out 4 pages of previous posts where I'm sure you will find good answers. If you aso have a chance and have a Haynes manual check out page 90.

So I looked through the links about the trany linkage and thought I would just try to see if the thing had reverse period. This is a side shift tranny. As I am looking up at the bottom of the transmition the shift link that goes into the tranny, should be up and towards the rear correct???? I'll get a picture> Thanks

You can remove the long linkage bar and move the shift link that goes into the transmission by hand. If you plan on keeping this car, I recommend getting the exploded views drawings available in the resource or classifieds section....it would have saved you some trouble by showing the "bent" linkage.... |

.... [/quote] This is basicly what I did, I just disconnected it at the shifter in the car. So if this is the correct location for reverse, I have none (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/devil.gif) |
