hey everyone
is it just me or does any one else have a difficult time selecting first gear when the car is at a stand still. if the stop permits, i.e. a stop sign, or a traffic light that is just about to go green and i am rolling i can put it in 1st no prob, but if i am at a stop light with other car and waiting a while, in neutral and try to engage 1st gear it does not seem to want to move in to place with any kind of ease. it is really bumming me out. makes me feel like a 16 year old just learning how to drive. the trans and gear shifting is tight and without issue, so i don't thing there is a issue mechanically, but am i missing something or is this just a characteristic of this 914 transmission. i have already done to much "if (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) you can't find it, grind it." |

Holy shit, for that kind of cheddar I would paint it and get you silver nuts. Core is $75-125, rebuild labor is $500, parts about $500, total about $1200 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
