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. |

We had that happen in our old car. I agree with all above. First gear hangs out in the tail cover so I think we removed the muffler and tail cover and removed first gear with the trans in the car. Replaced synchro, brake pucks and engagement dogs on the bench. Reinstalled and no more grinding! We ran it this way for quite a while until we took it apart to replace 3rd, 4 th, and 5th with shorter gears and rebuilt 2nd while we were at it. That was then the smoothest shifting Porsche trans I had ever shifted.
