Taking the 914 out for the first time to town. About 2 miles from my house and go for fourth. It's not thier...I wiggle a little more...still not there. I go back to third...nothing...second...first....stopped. I tried reverse, got it. Backed up to a wide place on the road and tried for first again...nothing...went back to reverse...nothing. Car is currently still sitting on the road. I tried to manually go back and turn the tranny shifter piece. It looked to me like it was moving around and the shifter (bushings etc.) is still operating.
'72 Tail shifter 1.7 Is there anyway I can fix it on the road? |

QUOTE(davep @ Sep 15 2004, 08:42 AM) I'm betting you lost the cone screw in the end of the linkage. If you are lucky, it is in the plastic cover, and needs to be reinstalled. It is a 4 or 5mm allen key. It has a plastic lock button that fails after it has been used a few times. Get a new screw. same thing happened to me. i rolled mie halfway on a curb, manually set it in 2nd gear and limped it home (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |
