Can anyone help me out. I am having issues shifting into first gear. I had the bushing replaced and it really helped with the slack in the shifter but still have trouble getting into first gear. All other gears work smoothly. The clutch cable was also adjusted, but no luck.

Any advise, I don't want to have the transmission rebuilt if I don't have to. I have a 72 with a tail shifter.

It will go into first once in awhile but grinds. Sounds like I need transmission work. Should I try to source a rebuilt one or get it rebuilt? Do you know how much rebuilding this transmission should cost. Want to make sure I am getting the right pricing.

I am in RI if anyone has a rebuilt or good used tail shifter.

Thanks for the help.

Consider bringing the car to Chris Foley at tangerine racing in Hartford Ct.
They are 914 specialists
