So my 914 is a converted 6 cylinder with a 915 transmission and Boxster shifter and cables. I went to a car meet this morning and it felt like the rear brakes were locked up when I tried to back into a spot. Luckily I was able to pull forward and park (felt like the brakes released). However, on the way home I realized it was the tranny acting up. It shifted fine up through the gears but I couldn't get it into gears when downshifting. When I came to a stop, I had a hard time getting it into 1st; but then it shifted fine up through the gears. I'm hoping it is something as simple as an issue in the linkage since this cable set up isn't the best. Maybe the cables got loose somewhere along the way.
I just wanted to see if anyone else had some thoughts on whats going on and what else I may need to look at when I decide to climb under there to fix it. Thanks! |
