Hello
I have been following this thread closely and saving my pennies to buy one of these adjusters My 914 has a tailshift 901 tranny and I just read this will not work on a tailshift Is there a similar tool one can buy to help with the adjustment of the shifter? The P.O. replaced all the bushings but I'm dealing with a renegade with a custom linkage Tranny shifts fine but finding the gears is still a problem. Im told trying to adjust without experience may lead to making matters worse Any help on this? Thanks Mike |

Take a look at the rear of the tail shifter linkage and see how much slop you have there....sometimes that metal piece gets worn and some welding and grinding to decrease the tolerance can help.
Another place to clean up is the shifter itself has a bushing in it, and old tired springs. Rebuilding that shifter also helps remove slop. There is a cup bushing down at the bottom of that shifter, replace that. It's not an unworkable system, and in reality, once you adjust either of these shifters properly, you are done adjusting...there really is one good place for your car...find it and leave it alone. My first pass at these cars I did everything I could do with that tailshifter linkage, shifter etc. I rebuilt the tranny also... Finally swapped in a side shifter. |
