The '73 we just bought is a 4 speed. Any opinions? Good or bad?
Thanks! |

As stated in your other thread, there was no 4 speed transmissions in 914s.
Your car either has a mis-aligned shift rod, worn shift rod bushings, or internal component failure. |

Thanks guys...I thought they were all 5 speeds but the damned salesman told me on the phone it was a 4 speed. I thought he was full of it. I appreciate your input. I'm told that all gears work fine except 5th (by another salesman) And it grinds going into 5th. |

I'm afraid you are going to experience some disappointment if you are relying on a salesperson's description of the condition of the car. |
