Okay, the weather is finally getting nice and took the new teener out for a quick spin... It needs work.. thats what I get for 1000.00 bucks. But I knew this.
First.. tranny dose not like 4th gear.. only stays there if I hold it in place. Almost feels like its not quite ingauging all the way. 2nd grinds if revved to high, but double shifting does not help. Not sure if it's syncro or something else. Someone mentioned shift fork could be bent, but cant find one for sale.... any thoughts or help.. Second, I need to replace shift bushings.. its a 73... Is this fairly straight forward or is there any tricks to help. and finally all the shocks need replacing. I noticed the rear looks like struts?? I thought they where supposed to be shocks? Maybe someone put on coil overs??? What is the standard config, and any tricks to this as well Any and all input would be appreciated. Thanks, Brad (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |

this was already mentioned and I don't want to be a downer, but...popping out of gear can be a sign that the tranny is pretty worn.
Many vw owners used bungie cords to hold 4th in place....it works for awhile. Its a notorious symptom in vw trannies, don't know enough about the 901 to say the same. hopefully you'll be fine....or fly Dr. Evil out there to work on it! |
