All,
I have been working on a '74 barn-find that is in good condition for a car that has sat for 35+ years. In 1973 I owned a 1970 1.7, loved that car. I drove it to the local Porsche dealer and was looking to trade it for a new one. I drove a new one and the shifter was so different. Yes, I know it was a side shifter vs. a rear shifter. But the new car shifting stuck with me as one of the best parts of a new 914. My experience was that the new car had a very CRISP shifter, where the path from 1st to 2nd was extremely easy, the springs seemed snappy. My current car has all new bushings, greased and shifts OK. I have been told that the springs in the shifter (in the cabin) have little effect, but I also noticed that people do replace them. Has anyone in this forum every pursued the NEW FEEL of a transmission? Many thanks CTC911CTC |
