Hi 914's owner! I have 75' 2.0 914 and I'm having a problem with my 1st gear. It jump out upon releasing the clutch. I already replaced all the shift bushings but when I push down to 1st gear and while releasing my clutch, there you go it jump out or grinding from the gear happens. Any suggestions on how to fix it? thank you and God Bless!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Hmm... I would suspect the linkage first. 1st is left and back (pulling your shift ball forward on the transmission).
Try shortening the linkage an 1/8" by loosening the clamp that grips the splined shaft under your shift lever. Re-tighten and give it a try. Worth a shot and better than tearing into the tranny. |

... and better than tearing into the tranny. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Nobody suggested pulling the transmission apart as step #1. Both Jim and I suggested testing to see if it is linkage/adjustment related first. Richard |

Richard Yup I will not do that, actually I just tried this morning to push by hand the shift from the bottom towards the 1st gear position and yes it did not pop up anymore. I tried adjusting the linkage from the bottom of the stick but it did'nt work or should I adjust the linkage from the gear shift (from the tail shift)? Thanks again and hoping you will help me till I able to correct it. |
