Hey everyone, i just got a used engine swaped into my car since the original one was blown up when i bought the car. I was going to take it for a test drive yesterday afternoon, but when i tried taking off out of my driveway and up my hill, the car would stall. After several tries i figured that what i thought was first gear was probably 3rd. I checked most of my linkage pieces as i was putting the car back together, and they seemed to be tight. Now im getting scared! What could be the problem? Did 914's come with 4 speed transmissions? Mine is supposed to be a 5 speed. It is a 72 1.7. I have never been able to figure out exactly what my transmission is. It looks different from the side and tail shift transmissions that i have seen, but i think it is a tail shift. Transmission geniuses please help!!! Here are some pics of the linkage at the back of the trany. Is anything missing or out of place?
