I was wondering whether all 914's inherently are unable to shift from 1st to second without quickly--a slight hesitation has been my experience.
The bushing had been replaced, the shifter is a J West rennshift,tranny was rebuilt by Dr Evil, and it shifts fine from 2 to 3, and 4 to 5. Three to four takes a little work, but a lot less than 1 to 2 Any experience or suggestions here ? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Hesitation is normal but if its to much, it could be your gear lube, or your sliders and synchros for 2nd gear, which do wear out and fail.
If you are trying to race, 1st gear is good till about 13 mph. Get out of it fast, use it in the pit and just for a few feet off the line, short shift to second, and with high hp motors, start in second, forget first. Rich |
