hi. i drove about 100 miles in my 74 2.0 914 today to get out of the city for the weekend, at some point my gears started to creak when shifting and hard to put in... all gears used to be very smooth and easy, except the reverse sometimes. I assume my clutch just needs adjustment, problem its weekend and I am about 100 miles away from my mechanic, high performance house in redwood city. I meant to bring it in anyways next week but my concern is I ruin my gearbox if I keep driving.
is it fine driving home slow and smooth, pushing the clutch all the way and double clutching, or would you get a tow truck. any suggestions? thanks a lot. |
