So...just got my 914, as in today and my first spin was great, all my dreams came true. Then I couldn't get it into 1st gear. After some research, thought I found a solution but then I couldn't get it out of the garage as reverse made it go forward, could get it into 1st though so got that going for me. I am a novice and I expected some issues but dang! Any suggestions?
Thanks to all in advance! |

What year is your car?
Can you get into reverse when engine stopped and then start the car and get it to go in reverse? |

When car is off I can put into reverse and cycle through all the gears. If I leave in reverse and start the car it goes forward. |

If I leave in reverse and start the car it goes forward. Ok not being smart here. But if you start it and it goes forward after putting in reverse, you are not getting it into reverse when stopped. That means something is blocking the shifter from operating correctly. Start with a little light reading!
