Hi--
I have a '73 914 and today I was driving through the neighborhood and all-of-a-sudden the shifter got even more sloppy than it already was (like I was stirring a spoon in a bowl of cookie-dough). Needless to say, I lost reverse and first, and I think all I really have are 2 and 3 (one forward, one backward)--enough to get home.. Beforehand, I knew the shifting was a little tricky, but I got used to it. Does this sound like a bushing issue rather than an internal issue? Any help would be appreciated-Thanks! |

I was going to weigh in here with Bushings as that's exactly what happened to me once.
Godspeed with it and listen to the Krusty one. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |
