I've been installing the shift rod on my 914 restoration.
So I managed to get the rear rod connected where it connects to the transmission mechanism. However, when i went to connect the rear rod to the front rod just inside the engine compartment, (The connection in the example photo below) I noticed that the hole that the screw goes into is on the TOPt side of the rod, and not the BOTTOM where the screw from the rear rod would attach. It looks like the rod from the front shifter is upside down. Ugh  Is there anyway to deal with this except to open up all the front shift area and turn the rod ? unfortunately all the carpet and center unit has been installed already. I assume drilling a hole in the rod isn't smart? |

I think if you disconnect the rod in the cabin at the shift lever you can turn it around 180 degrees. That is a clamp connection. It is under the carpet in the tunnel. You need a 13 mm socket and an extension. Do you have the Haynes manual? That will help you reconnect it and adjust the position of the shift lever so you can catch all six gears. |

That will help you reconnect it and adjust the position of the shift lever so you can catch all six gears. It isn't necessary to disconnect the tunnel rod from the cast piece. Even though it appears to have a splined connection, the splines are only on the rod. Inside the clamping piece is smooth, so the rod can be rotated 180 degrees without pulling it out, once the clamp is loosened. |
