Hey all, I am new, so sorry if I mess up the flow.
I have tried searching and I can't find issues that other have had that are like mine. So I bought a 914 off ebay last week, I got a great deal. The only major issue is that when I start from a stop in first gear, it feels like I am running over a pot hole or a large stick under my rear driver side wheel. It only happens in first, and I can't recreate it in any other gears. I don't feel any binding up, so I dont think its the CV. And the shifter stays in place, so I dont think its the trans mount. Has anyone ran into this issue before? If so, what do you think it could be? Thanks!  |

I have had this same condition exhibited from my car for about two months or more. I have checked the bushings, shift rods and alignment, shocks etc. sways front and back, etc. all to no avail.
Only in first on takeoff and no weird tire wear or any other issues of note. I need to have my (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bootyshake.gif) AHole obnoxious nextdoor neighbor put his head in front of the rear tire while i take off to see if the sound changes more to that of a pumpkin popping rather than the subtle clunk i now experience. Now that is sa fine sound / if only in my mind. Sidebar: This freak called the cops the other day when i dropped a 13mm Hazet on my carport slate floor. Ping! that pushed him right over the edge on Sunday morning... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) |

Or is he just a DICK? |
