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! |

"assume" or you've tried? I wouldn't sweat it too much til you put the the new bushings in.

QUOTE(rhodyguy @ Sep 2 2019, 04:26 PM)  "assume" or you've tried? I wouldn't sweat it too much til you put the the new bushings in. 2nd and 3rd engaged and moved the car forward. Assuming 4th/5th are there. Based on your response I am also assuming you believe the bushings are my main issue? Thanks again |
