I’m sure this has been covered before but I was not able to find what exactly was of help. I read in one post I should have about 1/8” of up/down travel on the cable to suggest proper tension. I have adjusted it in and out and everywhere in between to no avail. With the engine running I am not able to put the car into either first or reverse without grinding. I do not see any movement of the clutch housing inside of the tunnel, so I don’t think that is the issue. I have a brand new cable installed and other than trying to get the car to move,, this is far as the cable has been used. I can see the arm pulling in and out on the transaxle as well when depressing the clutch. Anyone have an idea of what I am missing here. Looking for suggestions.

I am not able to get into either 2nd or 5th. I have not adjusted the shift linkage by any set method. It feels like it easily finds the gears but will check the proper method to adjust the 914 transaxle. I’ll Keep you posted.
