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. |

Make sure you get the original M5x24 spiral roll pin. Made the mistake of putting a regular roll pin in there, and had to do this again 4 months later. It is a really easy fix. Drain the tranny, and remove the cover plate. put it in the gear that gives you the best angle to punch out the old/broken roll pin. The right size punch, and a ball peen hammer works best. Punch in the new one and your golden.
