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? |

Might have slipped the spline adjustment as well.
Best to call a hook and get it home...open everything up on the linkage and look for loose bolts. Working on the side of the road sucks big ones....you never bring the right tool. If ya don't have AAA....you should. I use BOTH my wife's tows and mine every year....great benefit. Saves having to get a ride home if the car ever needs to be taken to the wrench. |
