I have had a problem with engaging 1st gear ever since I have had this 914. I have already done all the bushings and rebuilt the transmission. I can easily engage all the other gears including reverse.
I really have to pull hard to the left and down to actually engage 1st gear. It feels like a linkage issue but reverse is very easy to engage so I am not sure that is the case. Does this just sound like a basic linkage adjustment issue? Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated. Jeff B |

Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated. Jeff B Glad you posted this thread as I experience the same issue with first. I am very interested in all the comments and information that have come out. I am embarking on a 915 trans swap for my car but will be living with the 901 for some time till I get things ready. Hope you get yours sorted.
