I am about to be driving my 914 home without a clutch cable. I've done this before in other cars, but not in the 914.
What rpm's should I be aiming for when trying to shift into the various gears? |

It can be done. Just be gentle when pushing the gear lever. You can feel it when the RPM range matches.
I actually drove one way down the Tail of the Dragon with a broken clutch cable. Stayed in third most of the way. The guy in the new Corvette couldn't keep up in the twisty bits. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
