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) |

So, what he is saying is SLOW DOWN....
Its faster to start slow in first, then get into second and accelerate at that point, not before. 1st gear has the function of getting the car rolling, nothing more. Short shift to second, unless you are on a hill, You are driving a 40 year old classic car....let the people behind you wait a bit, you will get there to that next light with everyone else. rich |
