'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? |

Gear oil. Seems to have a special cachet among drivers of old Porsches. Some don't think it's any better than any other gear oil, but it was very specifically recommended to me by some very good mechanics. So I use it. You can get it from, among other places, here: http://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/shopca...y_pg1.htm#item0 --DD |
