I was almost home from a Wash & Shine in Danville. After a stop sign, I put the 914-6's tailshifter into first, and as I'm finishing releasing the clutch I got a loud meaty "Bang!" I managed to cruise around the corner into a slightly less awful spot at one of the nastier intersections in Berkeley for traffic.
I took a look at the linkages at the back of the transaxle. The cables and rods I could see still seemed to be connected to something farther up the car, but I couldn't get under and don't know what to look for. Called AAA... Car's in my garage now. If I put it in gear and release the clutch I hear a suggestion of something rotating, maybe rubbing against something else, but the car doesn't move at all. First, second, third or reverse doesn't matter - same sound. Can't feel any real difference when I move the shifter itself - vague as ever, usual bumps and chunks as I (think I) engage a gear. Any suggestions as to what it might be, or what to poke at, would be welcome. I was wondering whether to convert the 901 to a sideshifter or move to a 915, Audi/Boxster w/ cable shifter, etc... Thanks! |
