Jumping right in to the 3.6 project, there has always been an issue shifting into 2 or 3rd gear. Sometimes it is very easy, and other times very difficult, but inconsistent nontheless; I suspect a bushing issue.
The other day, the problem just got worse. Now, I cannot engage Reverse gear (down and to the right) and when I do, it the car goes forward as if it was in say, 4th or 5th. I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing when it comes to this setup, as I didn't build it. I know that it is a 914 with a Wevo kit, and what looks like a stock 911 shift mechanism. |

If you have a WEVO there should only be 2 bushings assuming it was installed with u-joints. The cup at the shifter and another at the firewall. The firewall "should" be the self aligning bearing style and not likely to wear out. If plastic, grab the shaft at the firewall and see if it has excessive play at the bushing.
Pull out the 911 shifter and check the cup. Make sure the shifter shaft coming out of the boot at neutral is aiming straight up and down, if not reclamp the shaft until it does. Mine shifts like my Subaru..... Also, make sure the shift shaft is not hitting something in the tunnel. Mine did and required some creative bending. |

Awesome guys! Thank you for all the responses. I plan to get the car on the lift for a period tomorrow and check it out, it's going to be one hell of a learning experience, and I'll be sure to document with plenty of pictures.
I'm almost certain I'll have more questions, as I'm thinking of popping on the Rennshifter I have. |
