These shift bushings ARE listed on line as 914 replacement. The stock ones have round holes not Oblong. Do not buy these !

As I remember, the 911 coupler bushings are oblong and 914 was round. The 911s will work, but there is some fore/aft slop.

The Porsche bushings are exactly the same; they're for 911 couplers

So after an hour+ of searching for the mythical "round-hole OE 914 shifter coupling bushing" part number, I give up.

I've found these OEM bushing numbers listed for the 911/914/etc, and ALL of them have oblong holes (said to reduce shifter rattle and vibration, and allow for minor linkage misalignment).
695 424 223 00
911 424 223 03
911 424 024 K
964 424 223 00

The only round-hole bushings I can find are aftermarket versions made of Delrin or bronze, such as 5150 Motorsport 911 424 024 98 or Pelican 99-1758-424-M230 (which is no longer available).

Maybe the factory 914 bushings were round, but Porsche superseded them with the oblong hole design? Or maybe some folks have aftermarket bushings installed by a prior owner, and don't know it.

Anyone know what the part number is for the round-hole OEM 914 unicorn?

Yep, it's easy to find aftermarket bushings like that. What's the Porsche part number for the OEM "round-hole 914 bushings" though?

Looks like the OE round-hole bushings were never sold as a replacement part, and Porsche updated them to the 911 bushing design at some point. Maybe Porsche received vibration or noise complaints from 914 owners, or the coupling rigidity put stress on other linkage components if everything wasn't lined up perfectly, since oblong holes work like a u-joint.

Round holes. The bird about 3-4 years ago (IIRC).

Round factory part. Perfect fit. Improved shifting 100%
The posts are round so if you can find round ones, why put a round peg in a square hole. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Pelican site says those bushings (99 1758 424) are the "Domestic Aftermarket" brand.

Nothing wrong with someone using aftermarket round-hole bushings if they want a tighter linkage, but if someone wants to stay OEM, oblong-hole bushings appear to be the only choice.

Not sure where I "perpetuated" anything.
You cant get much more "full disclosure" than my post.
well except maybe "posting in my jammies" and "excuse the cellphone pic"

Now honestly, this is a bonus. When after you have put it together and have to do it all over again: would you rather blame yourself or a distant vendor? I hate it when it is my own damn fault. Can I say damn on the forum?
