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? |

Hey guys thanks for all the input.
I found the problem. It is the roll pin (??) just inside the tranny. There is a little plate at the end on the bottom of the tranny. I pulled that and found a broken pin. When the kinfe and fork moved the shaft it wouldn't move the tranny parts because this pin was broke. I was able to get it to stay in gear by using vice grips. Though it tooke about four times jacking it up and then trying a gear and then setting it down. The last time I decided to forget jacking it up...and somehow got it to stay in first. Drove it home in first. I was able to catch most of the oil that came out. Luckily I was on a farm road with little traffic. I don't have any covers on any of the linkage. I did just change all (6) bushings, I should have told you guys that. It still seems there is to much slop in it. It seems like the ball joints behind the firewall should be tighter? I see there is a hole (right by the ball) for something on the shifter shaft going to the tranny. This hole is empy? Maybe I need a brace or something? I need to go walk a couple of miles to go get the truck. - Does anybody know where or what kind of pin I can use in this? Is it just any old roll pin? - Also do I need to take apart the tail end of the tranny or can I just put it in a certain gear to line the pin up where I can get it through? ...time for my walk... |
