I'm in the planning stages of converting my '73 914 to an electric vehicle and need some help in figuring out how to lock out 1st gear. I saw a pic on the Road Glue site but I'm not sure what was done or how to do it.
Jump in any time Dr.Evil....daveyboy |

Easy. You get a section of copper tubing (I forget the i/d), remove the 13mm bolt that holds the 1/R shift fork on, remove the fork, insert the pipe on the rod, reinstall the fork and slider and you are set (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Pretty easy. To do it 1 better, remove the big bolt at the end of the stack, remove the slider, and the carrier, then remove the 1st gear all together. Leave the race in, reinstall the carrier, 1/R slider, pipe section, and enjoy.
Clear as mud? I can take pics. |

QUOTE(McMark @ Nov 19 2009, 03:49 PM)  That thread does not cover it very well. I'll shot some pics I have a stock somewhere. |

I was thinking user-controllable lockout. Whoops! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pinch.gif)

Here is a pic from my rebuild thread.
I - shift fork, held on by one 13mm bolt II - 1st gear III - 1/R slider By putting a pipe on the rod for the 1/R gear, you block it from moving (in this picture down) forward thus it can not engage 1st. Your stick will not move in that direction. The pipe cost under $5. The paper seal for the tail cone can be gotten from Mikey914 for $5 Attached image(s)
