I went for a ride and all of a sudden no warning, trans felt like it went into neutral, except, trans does not feel like it is shifting into any gears, or between any gears.
It feels more like shift linkage came loose. I tried to shift but did not feel the trans even going through the gears. This is on my 71' 914, Must be something in the linkage came loose, anyone else experience this same situation? I am wondering if i will need to remove a cover on the trans? I was lucky a neighbor saw and offered to tow me back with his truck and on his tow rope. |

Thanks guys,
It has the original trans in it, rear shifter, and was Not converted to a side shifter, I wish it had been. That's what i thought it was, a pin under that rear cover. That's sucks its a roll pin, and not a fastener that has a better chance of staying put, but even a fastener can fail, I guess its Not bad for 40+ years, Now if it where of Chinese Origin, it would have been 40 minutes to failure. |
