Was driving the 914 to work the other day and half way there I couldn't get 4th and barley was able to get 5th. After inspection the side coupler bushing broke. I can get the plastic or rubber ones from 914Rubber for pretty cheap but I saw Pelican Parts has these brass ones. Are the brass ones worth the additional cost? Anyone have any experience with them?

You can always replace the coupler with the steering U-Joint left over from a parted out 914 or 911.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-12023-1527460783_thumb.jpg) Nice, tight shifting and you never have to worry about the coupler bushings falling apart again. I did this on Betty's 914 years ago, and on mine when I still had a 901 transmission. Makes an incredible difference. |
