Transmission tune up time!, Sorry to keep bugging you guys but... Options

[Greg Bell]

Guys,

I want to tune-up my trans. I replaced the fluid this weekend and that seems to have helped a good bit. Now, I want to clean it up a little more. I want to replace the bushings.

1. What parts do I need? I understand I need rear ball cap bushing and some lithium grease; (2) the two tapered screws, front and rear; (3) rear shift rod bushing??; (4) firewall bushing


How about engine and transmission mounts? How hard are they to replace? What parts do I need?

Guys, I want to order these parts so I can at least do the bushings this weekend. What parts should I order, and where do you reccomend?

I can not remember what year your 914 is. The mounts are not bad at all to

replace but do you need to. unless your shift pivot points have air tight dust

covers, use a dry lube or none at all. Wet lube will attract dust and that will wear

out parts real fast.

Thanks guys! This place is an amazing resource. I decided to take the 914 for a late night blast. What a great car. A lot of my problems with the shifter have gone away from the fluid change, and just learning some of the 901's idiosyncrasies.
