I have a Porsche 550 replica with a 914 side-shift setup. Sloppy shifting is my woe.
I got a new ball cup bushing to insert into the shift rod coupler/head. The pelican parts tutorial states that it is really tough to get the bushing in there. My new bushing, though, is so loose that it falls out, it's definitely swimming in the shift rod coupler. Is this normal, or is the shift rod coupler worn out? |

Wow, what a great forum community.
The bushing came from QE auto parts and was at least advertised as original porsche. If this is supposed to move within the rod head, it's probably the right thing. As for the bushing at the firewall, it is substituted with the following heim joint, and this joint is nice and tight and solid. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/lh3.googleusercontent.com-20358-1472740465.1.jpg) This photo leads to another question--I had a super high-quality Lovejoy u-joint machined to accept 2 set screws, pictured. But the shafts are smooth bore, and although the u-joint fits snugly, I am wondering if I need some indent on the shafts. This is also, unfortunately, the adjustment point for the length and rotation of the shaft. Ideas? |
