Re: Is there a way of setting the gear linkage/stick?

One thing that I have found that i did not notice as I was driving. The little flapper arm on the right prevent reverse being selected when changing from 5th, sticks across.
I am hoping this solves it.

Re: Is there a way of setting the gear linkage/stick?

Grub screw behind the joint before it passes through the bulkhead is tight. New coupling was fitted by me. Grub screw with Alan key and locking nut on the front of the tower shifter is tight. But!

Early 911 (1972) number plate lights

My 1972 Outlaw has an impact bumper type of rear end. I want to change the rear to look original but after days of searching, I cannot find what the rear number plate area and number plate lights look like with the boot lid raised.

Any photos?

Re: Is there a way of setting the gear linkage/stick?

911 hillclimber. When you say 1mm clearance, is that both sideways and aft with no pressure on the lever?

What is the tall tower gear shifter?

Thank you for giving your time to explain to an experienced novice

Re: Is there a way of setting the gear linkage/stick?

Sorry, I thought it was to do with the toggle/lever on top and to the right of the gearstick housing?
The reason it won't go into reverse is because this little toggle is blocking it sometimes from moving rearwards as it also blocks it sometimes when I try to select 5th

1972 lower dash trim

The black strip that runs along the bottom of the dash on my 1972 911 is missing.

Re: Is there a way of setting the gear linkage/stick?

By how do I check it, I mean how do I know what it should be doing? How do I sort it? I have not come across a detent on the gearstick before.

Re: Is there a way of setting the gear linkage/stick?

Thanks guys. I have been tinkering but I thought there must be a way.

It's a 915 with new bushes just before it passes through the rear bulkhead.

I have not yet checked the Grub screw.

Nick Moss. How do I check the detent Spring?
