Get that VIN ? Group: Members Posts: 9,418 Joined: 1-May 03 From: Sunset Beach, CA Member No.: 643 Region Association: Southern California |
I was wondering whether all 914's inherently are unable to shift from 1st to second without quickly--a slight hesitation has been my experience.
The bushing had been replaced, the shifter is a J West rennshift,tranny was rebuilt by Dr Evil, and it shifts fine from 2 to 3, and 4 to 5. Three to four takes a little work, but a lot less than 1 to 2 Any experience or suggestions here ? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

I am going to bet the rennshift is not adjusted optimally. They are real hard to get right, it took me a while. You should not have hesitation, but Eric is correct that new bands can cause this until worn in. BUT, I rebuilt your trans in 2005. How many mile you have on it since?

Shifting a 914 always reminds me of the book "Dune". In the book they fight with knives because shields prevent attack by swift motion. My little British cars shift with a quick snik. My Porsches, even after listening to the Dr, shift with the "wierding way" you need to be just patient enough. If you we're supposed to be in control, you wouldn't have a Porsche. |
