When my 1970 rear shift 914 is in neutral the gear shift is so floppy you struggle to find a gear,also when cold it goes into second[once you find it ] nicely after a little while you struggle big time to get into gear

First step is to replace all the nylon bushings and cups between the shift knob and the transmission. The early 4 cylinder tail shift transmission has the most connection points, so the gearshift does require quite a lot of monkey motion to actually shift the gears in the transmission.
There are plenty of options, all are much more expensive than replacing the bushings and adjusting the linkage. |
