1989 ZF6 speed shifting problems
Having intermittent trouble when shifting from first to second gear. It seems to get stuck between gears. It comes out of first but won't let me shift to any other gear until I shake the shifter then it works. Any Ideas?

Make sure the clutch fluid is at the correct level, you might consider flushing and bleeding the system.
Since the car is new to you, it would not be a bad idea to change all fluids and everything freash and at a baseline.

Watch out for shipping & handling costs, that's where eckler's makes their $$. It's like a retroactive vette tax.

I bought one that was a "generic" and it listed itself thru '96, but, although the plugs looked alike, they were keyed different. luckily I could shave the keys off with a knife and make it work. I got mine from JEGS and paid too much for it. 
live and learn, I guess...

And the MaMo link has the different setup for the '96.
Thanks all.
