966 doesn't like low range...

Hi guys, I just recently bought my dad's 966 with factory TA delete... It runs like a top and my only problem with it is that it seldom wants to go into low range. Most of the time I have to start moving forward and then quickly shift from high range to low. Sometimes it stays in gear and sometimes it jumps out as soon as I start to release the clutch. Is this a simple linkage adjustment or something more serious? Any and all help would be appreciated!
 
Start with linkage adjustment.There are 2 places to adjust,under the hood and under the floorboard.You will have to adjust both in order to get thecorrect amount of 'throw'in all positions.if that dosnt work,you willhave to remove the range cover.with the floorboard off,you are right there.then,you can see the forks and the range transmission.
 
I do not think it is a adjustment issue , more like worn or loose linkage or you have a broken roller in the range cover or on the shifting fork . adjustment is the last thing i look at . So pull the right cowl sheet metal and work your way donw and see what all is worn . everything must be snug with no play . At times the headed pins get excessive ware and they get sloppy and a little ware here and a little wear there adds up and ya get a no go . So ya start at the shifter and work your way down to the range cover and then if you have to remove it , BUT you need to pull the side cover off thew left side of the rear end so you can have access to the rev. shift fork . As the linkage to it will come out with the range cover and it will fall over and when you try to go back together you will not bet the rod back in . If you have to go that deep into it then get a book and see what your getting into BEFORE you open it up.
