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(lapuwali @ Sep 15 2004, 10:31 AM) the leading edge of the aft bar is supported by the ball on the pin poking aft from the firewall. Sure, it could feel nicer, but a 914 could be quieter and have better ride quality, too. If I'd wanted a Boxster, I would have bought one. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I was cussing at the car this morning...But even when I pulled the truck up to the broken down 914 on the side of the road I had to say...man that's a good looking car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) And there is so much satisfaction in getting in this little 914 that you have made road worthy....well almost. hehe This aft shaft hanging on the ball is where I am talking about. Here is a pic: See the hole just this side of where the shaft is hanging on the ball: The paint on the shaft is kind of marred right beside it. Attached image(s) |
