I have a 74 1.8 and I'm having some trouble with 1st gear. About half of the time it will grind shifting into 1st. I know this is bad for the gears and it's also very embarassing. It seems to help the longer you are stopped, but not always. Does this mean the Synchro band is shot? Are there any easy adjustments I can check first? Just bought the car and know nothing about 914's.
Thanks, Phil |

It may be common to grind into first but it is not "natural" to the car.
First, adjust the clutch cable. As mentioned above it should have about 3/4" of slack at the top when you pull the pedal up with your hand. There could be other clutch tube/cable problems, but start with the correct adjustment. Then look at the cup bushing back at the tranny, under the plastic cover on the side and the plastic ring bushing also visible under the cover. Last, adjust the shift linkage. The Haynes manual describes the process for all of the above. If you have a 914 and don't have a Haynes manual, start by buying it. |
