First, do lots of searching here. Then, make sure all is correct in your linkage, and in your transmission. Then, seek to refine what you are left with after all of the aforementioned has been addressed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

some will say to replace all your worn/sloppy bushings first and see where you stand then.
most love their renn but even a renn can't overcome worn bushings. http://www.autoatlanta.com/porsche-parts/p...e_914_parts.php |
