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. |

Something funky there...
I don't have a bar like that on mine. Or any of those brackets/links connected to it. one looks like a dipstick tube. I would inspect those bits and see if they do anything. Someone here will probably know what they are from/for. That is the fill plug half blocked by the top of the bar. I think the drain plug is under the bar just behind the clutch cable pulley. Always make sure you can get the fill plug open before you drain it. |
