I have had a problem with engaging 1st gear ever since I have had this 914. I have already done all the bushings and rebuilt the transmission. I can easily engage all the other gears including reverse.
I really have to pull hard to the left and down to actually engage 1st gear. It feels like a linkage issue but reverse is very easy to engage so I am not sure that is the case. Does this just sound like a basic linkage adjustment issue? Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated. Jeff B |

Usually going into first is not an issue for me.
Like others have said though, when it is I can either shift into second and then into first or release and repress the clutch to get first to engage. for the most part though, first will engage with a nice, confident "thunk." Zach |
