Pretty sure the 911 turbo has nothing to do with it, but it was a bad ass drive...
Anyway, Took the 914 out for an end of the week drive and when I shifted into 4th it went into 2nd, which sounded cool when the engine revved and the tires barked but on the second try (at a lower speed) still 2nd and not 4th. I need 4th. I turned around and headed back to the house and when I was looking for 1st I am pretty sure I found 3rd. I also need 1st. I'm thinking that something in the linkage broke and hopefully this is a problem outside of the transmission. I'm going to dig around tomorrow or maybe later tonight but I just wanted to see if anyone had any educated guess on what the problem might be. If it turns out that my 914 will not let me drive other cars with out pitching a fit, then we may have a problem... |

You need to talk to Naro.
He understand just how temperamental these cars can be when they get jealous. |
