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. |

before tearing into yours trans. make sure all the shifter bushings are intact and if a side shifter the cone screw is tight. I have never bought a 914 that had good bushings. I always replace them first.

I always replace them first. Thanks - still need to add oil and run it before doing anything. I have replacement coupler bits in hand for the exact reason you mention. Thanks! |
