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

Just had my bushing replaced, made all the difference.....

Brian,

I tried not to do it.
I'm really really sorry..

if your shifting is so good, then how come you can't get it into 4th or 5th gear?


lol.

Michael,
Glad the article helped. Where are you from? there is no location in your member i.d.

Currently in Katy, Texas...outside Houston.


Michael

werd... you'd be SHOCKED at the difference of good bushings and proper adjustment!!

ok, new bushings and check linkage...thats my next project. Currently fixing a few other minor things. Like trunk hinges and battery hold down..
