Thought I'd share some recent upgrades and fixes for the shifting issues that plagued my 914.
Symptoms included: -Grinding when going into reverse or first gear, whether I was stopped or coasting to a stop for first gear. -So much shifter slop, the sloppiest, loosest, bucket of gravel shifting you can imagine. Was tough to find a gear at all sometimes. -Shifting performance declined to the point that I was no longer able to find first, or fourth/fifth. -Clutch pedal was very loose and outside of the bounds of normal. So what did I do about it? I decided to take some time to inspect bushings throughout the entire shifter linkage system and no surprise, they were trashed. The firewall bushing was half missing, gear shift bushing was "wallard out", and rear console didn't look so hot either. So I got some new bushings and decided to go with the Tangerine Racing side shift linkage upgrade kit and firewall bushing kit. Here is a link to the install video for anyone that is interested in doing this upgrade: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQx6ISSkcmw/...zRlODBiNWFlZA==   |
