So I have a 1/1/72 1.7L with a slightly sloppy shift (what's new) so I ordered some bushes and dismantled the shift only to find somebody had beaten me to it and it was fine. BUT putting it back with the right alignment is proving difficult, I can get some gears but not others, is there a tip on putting these things back with the correct alignment? Why did I touch it? I note in the Haynes manual I appear to have the later shift, the one with 2 springs which seems odd. Any tips gratefully received.

Thanks for the photo, very useful. See my photo of gear shift (with 2 springs), I'm hoping not to have to get under the car as it was working OK before I took out the gear shift and it's more an issue of how to align it as I put it back. Any ideas? Ok, so your car is a 72. That shifter is stock, with two springs, not unusual. What is unusual is that shifter is out of a later 914 with a side shift. Can you give me a pic of your transmission where the shift rod controls the trans. Whether it is at the tail or on the drivers side of the trans. |
