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. |

I have a couple cheap drive on AutoZone ramps. That works for this cone screw job. I will put the floor jack under the driver's side as well for even more room. Hardest part is getting the boot back on the firewall. Fold the rubber back a little bit press it in place and let it flip back over the firewall lip is my trick. Some days it goes better than others.
