Just bought a 72 914. Had been sitting for a long while, just got it started about a week ago. Tried to do a test drive today and it won’t shift into 1st. All the other gears are working great. Any ideas what it might be? Originally I had thought I might just need to bleed the clutch, but realized there is no grinding sounds of the gear attempting to engage. Am I going to have to do a trans rebuild or swap? Let me know if you have had similar problems or any ideas of what I can try. [quote]

Sounds like you need to purchase a Haynes manual. Seriously. It will make asking questions easier...at a minimum.
ALL of the bushings are prob shot. Source a complete package and do every one of them. |

As well as all of the other gears, I can get it rolling in second, I just don’t want to burn my clutch out. I’ll have to purchase of that book. |
