I send DR. Evil a PM, but figured it wasn't fair to pester only him when I could pester the entire 914 community.
Newly rebuilt transmission just installed. Fairly new bushings (ball cup, firewall, rear coupling). Before the the trans was rebuilt I was able to shift into all gears. The only consistent problem I had was some times not being able to shift from 5th into 4th if the RPMs weren't just right. After installing the newly rebuilt trans I still had this problem so I decided to try adjusting the linkage at the shifter and somehow made things worse. I can get into all gears, but sometimes it takes several attempts for anything other than 1st and reverse. Even after getting it to go in gear I can take it out and then can't get it back in. Especially true for 2nd and 4th. I can't tell where it's binding, maybe at the shifter? What's the best way to determine where things are binding up at without an extra set of hands? Does a rebuilt trans take a while to 'break in'? |
