Help please guys -
1973 914 is really difficult to downshift from third to second when warm - seems to be far easier when cold, but after a run it gets much harder, feels like the clutch isn't engaging properly.. Clutch or bushing problem do you think? Is the clutch adjustable? I don't think that my cable tube has broken.. |

Heat could raise clutch issues if there's some contamination (i.e., gear oil) on the disc. I might be inclined to look at the 2nd gear synchro if the clutch is OK. BTW, older Alfas used Porsche style synchros, and they're notorious for failing. BTDT with a GTV. As for downshifting as an aid for slowing down, remember that brakes are cheaper than trannys.
