I went for a ride and all of a sudden no warning, trans felt like it went into neutral, except, trans does not feel like it is shifting into any gears, or between any gears.
It feels more like shift linkage came loose. I tried to shift but did not feel the trans even going through the gears. This is on my 71' 914, Must be something in the linkage came loose, anyone else experience this same situation? I am wondering if i will need to remove a cover on the trans? I was lucky a neighbor saw and offered to tow me back with his truck and on his tow rope. |

A 71'. Unless the trans has been swapped for a side shift there are no linkage screws to contend with. Presuming the linkage is all functional, I would suspect the rolled pin that couples the 2 levers inside the rear cover. The access cover is on the bottom of the rear of the trans. You will want to drain the gear lube prior to removing the cover. The cover is shown on p.86 fig.5.21 and The pin setup is shown on p.87 fig.5.25 of your Haynes.

Thanks for the Page & Figure locations in the Haynes repair manual, that helped and went right to it. Yea I said it was a 71' but its a mid 71' build, making it a 72' production car. |
