I have a 915 gearbox in my 77 and when I stop in traffic I can find it very tricky to get into 1st. I did think this was due to the clutch maybe being on its way out but after reading all your comments maybe I need to play around with the linkage and replace some bushes. I am less than happy with the gear change over all but mine is the only 911 I have ever driven so I have nothing to compare it to. I was thinking of fitting a short shift but i think ive changed my mind. Does anyone have any sugestions on what bushes I should replace and where to start adjusting the linkage.

If you want a really nice shifter for your 915 or 901 box, check out WEVO (www.wevo.com) or the RennShifter from JWest Engineering (www.jwesteng.com)
They shorten the throw of the shifter, but more importantly give you a "gated" feel, so no more f-ups shifting from fifth into second
Sure they're spendy, but man are they nice!
