If you find yourself as I did yesterday with a new to you car that won't shift properly stop what you are doing and make sure there is oil in the gearbox.
I don't think I did any harm in the two around the block gingerly drive I did before it got recalcitrant, but lesson learned. Thanks to Gabe in HB for the dope slap to stop what I was doing and check. |

you are not alone, I think this is fairly common thing, but it should be at the top of the to-do list for the newbe owner - I was a newbe owner , first time 914 owner and started driving the car as soon as I got it running , but noticed the shifting was not always on , sync from first to second and back down was not what it should be so I suspected some synco and dog teeth wear, but like a dummy I didn't even check the gear box oil until a couple months later. the thing was way down, I mean like I am not sure there was even a quart in there! Best thing I ever did was do the transmission rebuild clinic though with Dr. Evil. My box was actually in very good condition, just needing new seals and the dog teethe and syncros new at 1-2 and 3. very little wear and no galling on any of the gears. amazing for a 40 year old transmission!
oh, btw skip, your title, at first I though you were selling something (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) it say brought to you "buy" rather than "by" lol. I wasn't sure what "buy ima dope" was (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) |
