Ive got a 76 914 side shift.
I recently picked the car up from my mechanic who replaced pistons, car runs great now. Shifting wasn't great before, but I could drive it with no problems. Others could as well. Now it seems I cant get into reverse or first, 2nd and 3rd are everywhere, and 4th and 5th are far far to the right. I assume when he was dropping the engine, some old bushings crumbled out of the linkage. I'm guessing the two in the coupler. I just wanted to run it by you guys first. I haven't had the chance to get under the car and check the cone screws or try any adjusting at all. I was able to get it into first once leaving his lot, after that, I had to take off in 2nd. Thanks in advance for the help guys. |
