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? |

Is there a cone screw on the tailshift setup?
I just did every bushing in my car and didn't find one. The connection from the front shift rod to the short / middle rod is rigid- a clamp, so there's no shift coupler. Then there's the ball socket at the bulkhead and the long rod that goes to the tranny. No set screw unless it's at the front underneath the shifter (like on a 911). In a tailshifter I think you can still get gears if any of the bushings goes bad, except the front. If the cup disintegrates up under the shifter AND you have sloppy bushings I'd guess you could lose it. Side of the road SUCKS! Get it in 2nd or 3rd and go home- tell us what you find. -Bob O |
