First of all, hope everybody’s weekend is off to a good start and thanks and advance for any ideas.
I’ve had a long standing shift issue in the ex-turbo car that has me stumped. It’s extremely difficult to drive the car, because I never know what gear I’m going to get despite all of the couplers and bushings being new, including the firewall bushing. I know how to rewind the shifter and haven’t had any trouble getting a good shift pattern on the other 914s so I don’t think that is the issue. On our morning drive today Gabe pointed out that my shifter moves laterally back-and-forth as if it’s a neutral, even when it’s in gear. In other words even after you select a gear and get a clean shift you can wiggle the shifter as if it is in neutral. Does that trigger any ideas as to the problem? I’ve swapped the shifter itself but for all I know the one I swapped could have been bad/off. Trying to rule out anything external before I pull the box. Once in hear it holds gears and syncros are good and the box is quiet and oil stays clean. Thanks! |

Is the cone screw on the knuckle missing or loose?
