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! |

Cap'n, can you explain how you punched the pin through to replace the coupler bushings? I'm soaking the whole thing in PB blaster tonight to see if I can get it to budge tomorrow--it seems like it's in there pretty tight. I've got a large-ish punch, and will secure it in a vice...
On a side note, I don't know how I was able to shift previously--every piece of plastic in the linkage is rough... Can't wait to see how it shifts! |
