Next question..the 73 I have is sorta sloppy shifting in all general areas, esp the 2nd to 3rd route. Is this normal for the 914 or is it a bushing issue or bent shifter rod? My experience is in the VW areas..

start with the easy stuff - Linkage and Bushings
2 to 3 isn't a usual suspect in shifting problems pelican has a good article about this http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/9...ift_improve.htm |

Brian,
I tried not to do it. I'm really really sorry.. but ...ju...st.. coul..dn't.. res..ist... if your shifting is so good, then how come you can't get it into 4th or 5th gear? lol. (smiley) |
