Can't shift into 4th or 5th
Just last week I was able to get my 70 911S back on the road after sitting for 2 1/2 years. The original problem was that the nut that held the pivot arm came loose - requiring pulling the engine/tranny and popping the tranny off to fix (I used the 71 upgrade fix). See Please help, the pain is unbearable for my recent posts.
Things have been more or less fine until coming home from work tonight. I can not get in to 4th or 5th - even sitting still. Could be related to clutch adjustment? I searched here but did not find a similar issue. thanks in advance, Michael

Sounds like you need to adjust the shift linkage as described in the tech section here:

C4 Pazzo, thanks for the tech article pointer. I thought the search feature searched the tech section too? Maybe not since I didn't find this on mysearch.
I will check that out. It makes sense since these were all disconnected when the engine was removed/replaced. Regards, Michael

Well, that indeed was the problem. A simple shift linkage adjustment and it shifts into 4th and 5th now. Of course I noticed that the bushings are worn and the rubber boot needs to be replaced too.
cheers, Michael
