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 had my 1st gear blocked off when I had a taller road gear put in, and so I start off in 2nd. Sometimes it goes into gear like hot butter and sometimes, I find if I go from like 4th to 5th gear, and then I can go back over to 2nd and it will go in easier.
I'm wondering if the old stock shifter, when shifting, if a person leans the stick shift one way or another a bit too much, if that makes it go into gear harder as well?? It almost seems like before I shift, if I start putting pressure on the stick shift before I push in the clutch it goes into gear easier also? I'm wondering if this would make the shifts, more spot on? http://www.jwesteng.com/porsche/911/rennshift_911.htm |
