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. |

The bar which that covers the fill plug is part of a custom bracket to mount the -6 throttle linkage bellcrank on a non 914-6 transaxle.

Thanks guys.
The bar which that covers the fill plug is part of a custom bracket to mount the -6 throttle linkage bellcrank on a non 914-6 transaxle. Chris, have you dealt with one before? Looking at it it doesn't look like that big a job to remove it so I can change the tranny oil, just undo a few nuts and pull the throttle linkage to one side. |
