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 |

First step is to replace all the plastic bushings, balls and cups. This alone will gve a vast improvement. If there is a lot of side-to-side slop in the very back (where the linkage couples to the tranny), I've had good luck putting a homemade shim between the metal ball of the linkage and the shift lever. I made mine of house heat/air ducting type metal. Make it big enough with some tabs so you can kind of wrap it around to stay put.
