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) |

I change the tranny oil every 10K with 90 wt. About 40-50k miles ago,
Dr Evil replaced the gears that were worn. The shift is not a serious problem; it cause a minor problem when starting off at a signal. By the time I'm going into second cars behind me are closing in on me because of the temporary acceleration. I'll try shifting at a lower speed today. And thanks to all that have shared their knowledge |
