Hi, In my 914, all gears shift smoothly except 2nd gear.

The tranny has been upgraded to the side shift on my 1.7 motor.

It drives fine and shifts, but as I say it can grind if you do not get 2nd gear just right. Any thoughts? ... is it just the typical bushings etc that will need replacing or is there some adjustments that can be made to help?

Thanks in advance for any help.

If the clutch pedal engages near the floor it needs to be adjusted more towards the top so you get more release (2" from the top is good). If that is good and the clutch doesn't slip on hard acceleration, try readjusting the shifter. If the disk is glazed or the flywheel is blued it needs a new clutch.
