so i just got my 76 914 running and the valve covers and push rod tube seals replaced so i'm not donating excessive amounts of oil to the road. so i just took her out on the road to test her out. 1st gear is fine. second gear seems to be tough to get. its about 50/50 whether it engages or not. i figured that if i push it a little to one side while shifting in it works better. then i put it in 3rd, not tough, works well. then i rev it up to about 3500rpm (51mph?) and go to shift into 4th. nothing. can't find it anywhere. i already opened up the tranny on this car and the synchos are all fine, nothing completely broken. someone help me before i (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) my 914.

You didn't lose it you just misplaced it. As others have stated...look to the linkage for clues. I did this with the six a while back and limped home with second gear. I bought all new bushings... stem to stern. Now it shifts just as bad as it did when it was new (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
I volunteer Dave Hunt as well... He's the master at these type of repairs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |
