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]
