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? |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) I'm in South Austin as well. Please do share some photos of your car.
The shifter should work well with enough support and some tight bushings. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
