I am replacing my shift coupler bushings.
I purchased a white delrin set and they were way too sloppy and a poor fit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Next up is a set of urethane and they fit much tighter but the pin still floats around in the holes which appear to be oval shaped? Not sure if I would like that play due to the pin floating in the oval shaped holes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I saw a set of solid brass bushings, these look interesting. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Has any one used them? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Are the pivot holes supposed to be oval shaped with slop around the pivot pin? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Any brand better than others? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) There seems to be a lot of manufacturers out there and the prices go from $12 bucks to $40.00 for the brass ones.

QUOTE(02loftsmoor @ Apr 30 2014, 09:13 PM)  Do you just drive that pin out to service the bushings?? It just presses out. I agree with the Cap'n, the stock 914 bushings did not seem to have the oval holes and no slop. Mine were just cracked to hell. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) These after market ones I picked up must be for the 911 and they just sell them for everything Porsche with a coupler thus the oval holes. I read they make non oval versions. Just have to track them down. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif) I also agree the solid brass ones might be a bit harsh for a street car.
