ok so i just drove up my 1976 914 with 160,000 miles from a 280 or so mile trip from san fran to my home town. First off i got the car for 3,300 dollars.

What the car has done to it.
lowed on koni's- no idea what the drop is or anything like that but it looks good
rebulit head and head gasket.
just passed smog.
looks like a brand new gas tank.
has documentation from the last 10 years of work down to it.

now the bad-
1)it grinds going into 2nd and 3rd on occasion. Its the wierdest thing when i rev it a lil higher than my normal shifting routine it does in fine. i don't know if it's that i'm not used to the shifter and the lack of a shift knob?

2)it drove fine for the first 5 miles then i hit the brakes a lil hard, it started to knock like the lug nuts were loose on the rear passenger side check the lugs and they were fine. Called my dad up and he said it was most likely the caliper was wobbling or the rotor was warpped.

3) as said in my previous topic the turn signals don't work! it sucked

4) wipers don't work, no indication or noise.

5) tailights don't work, and when i step on the brake my gas and tach gauge drop.

6) fog lights won't come on- not sure if it's blown lights or not

7) i have no radio and thier is no wiring for a radio. Any suggestion on what fuses i should tap off of, for the power acc, and power constasnt would help.


Also i have checked all fuses and all are intack and not blown.


any help would be apperciated thanks mike

- stock knob

update-


got my guages to work when the brakes are hit. I replace a brake light bulb the other day didn't check to see if it work when ran but just turned on the headlights and it came on so i knew it was good. but i think it was also causing my guages to drop when the brakes where hit. Might be do to that thier wierd in series.

dropped the car off with a local 914/vw guy and he's gonna help me with my shifting problems, i would redo all the shifter bushings myself but i have no idea how to do and i'm very limited on time for big projects. but when driving today i figured out that it was my shifting that was causeing grinds just wasn't throwing it that well.

but now my car has a wierd idle, it revs a lil high then seems like it's gonna stall then drops then rises agian, any suggestions?
