Shifting into first has started making a blood curdling grinding noise even when I come to a dead stop. My shifter is sloppy as hell - I dread any AX course where I get into 3rd as more often than not I'll downshift into 4th rather than 2nd - so I'd been considering upgrading, possibly to a Rennshift, for a while anyway. So, I'm thinking it might be time for a whole gearbox/shifter/bushing 'while I'm in there' upgrade.
Anyone in SoCal had this done and been really pleased with the results? Any shop in SoCal you could recommend? I know it's rarer than an albino saquatch, but I'd love to come out the other side of this with as precise a 914 gear change as possible. |

Managed to finally get under the car tonight. It's a 73, but the number on the tranny case is 914.301.101.00, which unless Google is lying is a tail-shifter, so I just wanted to check what I'm dealing with. Is this tail-shifter or a tail-shifter that's been converted to a side shifter?

And, finally, there seems to be a bar blocking me from getting a wrench in to remove the top plug in the transmission. Is that normal, or is what I'm looking at not the top drain plug?
