This will not happen again. Someone has actually taken the insane amount of time and trouble required to restore a Porsche 914. This is a really, really bad car. I've discussed it before when I saw one in Ballard a few years ago. But there's a funny article you should read about the 914 on Hagerty.com: "A few things to know before stealing my 914."
"Once you are ready to again try for second, I can offer some advice. One
trick that works is to declutch the transmission, pull the lever from
the first-gear position, enter into the aforementioned neutral zone, and
then rapidly wig-wag the shift knob side-to-side along a lateral axis.
If you move the knob quickly enough, the transmission will be
out-smarted and cannot anticipate your next move. It is at this time
that you should re-attempt to enter second, and most likely you will do
so. Surprise is your best weapon against this transmission."
