'75, side shifter. Shifts well, but sometimes a bit stiff going into 1st or 3rd. I'm still a bit new to 914s, so don't know what's normal or needing attention in these things yet....
When rolling to a stop, getting into 1st gear is no problem. If at a total stop, sometimes need to clutch and fish to get it in, and then seems like it's at the very end of the throw and barely engages. Ok, this is not a modern full-synchro xmission, but... what should I expect as normal vs. what needs attention? |

1st I would check to make sure you are not hitting the end of travel for the shifter.
Then make sure all the linkage and bushings are snug. those set screw pins can come loose at fire wall joint and back end of the shift rod too. I normally don't shift to 1st while moving. Why? engine braking is for cars with whimpy brakes. Not to mention tough on clutches. Oh welcome and enjoy your 914 journey. |
