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.

thanks for the imput guys. i checked the bushing at the bottom of the shift rod. looked fine. all of it was there and no cracks or worn down or anything. there is some free play in 2nd gear. it seems if i just push it forward, second misses the mark, i don't feel the synchro. but if i push it a little to the left against the spring, it goes right in. but now i can't get it to go over into the 4th/5th plain at all. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) i'm going to try to adjust (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) the linkage cause second feels like it isn't in enough and 1st, 3rd, and 5th are too far. or i'll just get mad and (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) then (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif)
