Who carries the bronze replacement bushing kit for the shift console? The only place I've found it is Patrick Motorsports and they want almost $20 to ship the $25 part.

Why do you want or think you need the brass one?

I installed a new bushing kit from one of our 914World members. Even with a new plastic bushing, I am seeing 0.074" of radial play (a combination of bushing loose in housing and clearance between bushing and shift rod.)
Maybe that's normal? The shift rod is constant diameter over it's length, so I don't think it's worn just at the bushing location. I have to remove the engine for other reasons, so thought I'd investigate the bronze bushing. regards, Carl Why do you want or think you need the brass one? |

On mine, the new plastic bushing was also loose in the console so I shimmed it with a single wrap of aluminum from a La Croix can and now it’s tight in the console and on the shift rod. It really made a difference shifting into first. |
