Hello,
I have a 915 transmission with side shifter on my 914 ... transmission grinded a couple of times when going to fourth and then a day later when I put the stick in reverse it actually engages 4th gear - anyone see this before? Thanks in advance. -Colin |

It does sound like your coupler came out of adjustment. Mine is below the center cushion.
Are you using the stock 915 shifter with reverse lockout? I'm using a Rennshift and since reverse is below 5th, when shifting from 5th to 4th, I let the shifter move back to the center plane on its own and then shift down to 4th. It takes a little bit of getting used to, so you don't hit reverse from 5th. Is yours a velios? |

It's a V8 330ci conversion with a 915 transmission. It just happened and I hadn't had much time to take things apart to look further but I think it may be under the cushion like you mentioned and I'm not sure yet about the lock out option yet. Please look at the pics and let me know if that helps shed light on anything. Thanks! Attached image(s)
