Took my 914 out for a cruise yesterday & had shifting problems on the highway with no 4th or 5th gear shifts. In the garage at startup gear shifting (wobbly) was loose into all gears. On the highway 1st. 2nd & 3rd was ok but nothing into 4th. or 5th.? Need advice where to look & start for repairs. 914's are so low, getting under the 914 has issues for inspections as I get older (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Tom, Looking for 914 repair shops in the Petoskey MI area is difficult. |

Check out Munk's Motors in Waterford, MI. : https://www.munks.com/ They fixed my old Audi Q7 when I was visiting family in MI. They also had a few 914s in the shop when I was there last. Otherwise I think McMark is in Grand Rapids? |
