I've lurked long enough...time to join in.
I bought a '75 1.8 a few weeks ago...my first 914! I've been happily driving along ever since, with nothing more than a fuse to replace so far. The car always shifted great, until yesterday. I was driving it home and noticed that the shifter had a little play in it (rotating just a little). By the time I got home, and went for reverse to back into the driveway, the whole lever had spun to the left, and spins freely now. I took it apart today, and it looks like the shift lever is (or was) welded into the ball at the base of it. Is this a common problem? Can it just be welded back together, or should I start looking for a replacement? |
