I've been installing the shift rod on my 914 restoration.
So I managed to get the rear rod connected where it connects to the transmission mechanism. However, when i went to connect the rear rod to the front rod just inside the engine compartment, (The connection in the example photo below) I noticed that the hole that the screw goes into is on the TOPt side of the rod, and not the BOTTOM where the screw from the rear rod would attach. It looks like the rod from the front shifter is upside down. Ugh  Is there anyway to deal with this except to open up all the front shift area and turn the rod ? unfortunately all the carpet and center unit has been installed already. I assume drilling a hole in the rod isn't smart? |

Not something to get wrong. The rod is only to go one way, and the holes for the cone screws will dictate the proper orientation.
Also, make sure all your bushings are fresh and tight, it will make the car shift as good as possible. I just had the rod apart yesterday to install a delrin bushing I made for the console, made a huge difference. Chris’s firewall bushing is beyond anything else available, well worth the money.
