Hey guys,
I went out cruising and ate dinner in the 914. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Nice drive and dinner until heading home I could not engage 2nd and 4th. Just kept grinding but I managed to work around and skip the gears. Took it back to the garage and check what I found. Looks like the bushings went to valhalla. Worked on other transmission linkage/shifters before so not new to me. I will be ordering a shift bushing kit from Marky Mark. Hopefully it is an easy fix. Anything else I should be aware about with these 901 trannies? -Ed |

Do all your bushings. Use the oil bronze bushings where they are available. Check all linkages for slop and tighten or replace cone (pointed)set screws. There is a roll pin back near the side shift console on the gear box on the 90 degree elbow or knuckle the I have found very worn and sloppy too. I drilled and threaded in an extra set screw there to remove slop at that roll pin. Helps tighten up the whole shift linkage assembly. Clean, grease, and put covers on to keep grit out of the grease. Good luck! |
