I am having major problems with my gear selection on my 75 914. The problem started with a horrible crunching noise when I tried to change from 1st to 2nd.
Inspected the linkage and found the grub screws had come loose, I retightened these but now the shift from 1st to 2nd feels in a different position and if not done slowly actually tries to go into reverse. Is there a lock out for reverse, I dismantled the shifter but could not see any lock out?! Does this sound terminal or just adjustment or bushings? Any help greatly appreciated (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Al |

If you have not replaced your shift linkage bushings, it's a good place to start. If you still have a problem, adjust your linkage and clutch.

Cheers Blitz, I was thinking along those lines initially, seems to be a common fault, just did not think it would happen so fast and without prior warning. Got any tips on removing splitting the shifter? Al |
