'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? |

Adjust your linkage below the shifter mechanism in the tunnel. I have found that a 15 minutes there can make some good improvments.
Fluid as Andy said, seems as though any other 914 I had never seemed to have any when I checked.. Set screws at the firewall (where the rubber cover is under the engine) and the one where the rod meets the transmission - Next would be bushing condition. |
