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) |

GL5 dino oil.
Any synthetic is to slippery for the old style friction bands...they rely heavily upon friction to work right. For Jim, if the bands are tight, and its notchy to get into 2nd, you may have a slider that it worn, or more likely the dog teeth were worn out in the first hundred thousand miles and may not have been replaced during the last build. It could also have happened in the last 50 shifts...wearing out the tips of the dog teeth. They are hardened, so using a dremel or file to re-tip them is not really a long term solution. rich |
