Observations while shifting my 915, what does it mean?
Can anyone provide their opinion on what these symptoms could be related to? I'm wondering what is making my 915 so finicky.
This post is in regards to a 1981 SC with a 3.0L with a 915.
1. If the air pressure in one of my back tiers is low, it becomes very difficult to shift.
2. When everything is bone cold (California winter mornings), It becomes very difficult to shift.
3. Just after everything warms up shifting improve greatly.
4. After driving in stop and go traffic for long periods of time it becomes very difficult to shift in to 1st and 2nd.
5. When approaching a stop shifting improves when I let of the breaks.
My Conclusions:
The angle of the transmission is changing relative to the shifting linkages. I wonder if it is related to the engine and transmission mounts. Could they be getting old?
Could the shift linkages connecting the shifter to the transmission be bent? The previous owner drove the car with a cut down factory shifter and warn bushings. The car use to be very hard to shift. Did some damage occure?
Any input would be appreciated!
