I'm thinking that I don't have the vertical shift lever adjusted on the splined horizontal rod correctly.. (car is yet to be driven after restoration). It seems to take quite a lot of effort to get it all the way over to the 1/R side. It's been too long since I owned my last 914 to remember exactly how it's suppose to feel. But I do not remember it taking this much effort. So, when the lever is at rest, would you say it sits in the middle (of neutral's left to right plane) or that it favors either L or R ? I mean the middle seems logical I guess, and I probably just have it mal-adjusted.
I installed the shifter many months back always intending to revisit the subject before first start up - which is quickly approaching (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) |

Doesn't the 1/R "plane" require the spring-loaded shift plate in the lever mounting flange to be pushed over against the springs?
Did you put two or four springs in the flange? I believe (and may be wrong!) that you slide the lever over till it just hits the plate and that position is "centered" for 2/3. adjust depth and you should be able to hit all 6 gear positions. Most cars have some form of reverse "detent". The 914 uses this same "detent" for both reverse and 1st gear. |
