(Thought I previously posted, but can't find, sorry if redundant.)
I purchased replacement Shift Coupler Bushings but they seem too large for the pin. The replacement bushing ID measures 0.52 to 0.55”. The pin of the coupler measures 0.457. Delta =0.090! (This is not installed in the coupler, just the bare bushing as received.) Is it possible that pressing the bushing into the housing will compress it enough? I am assuming that this is an original shift coupler, but it could have been changed prior to my ownership. Maybe someone can tell from the pics attached? Do I try to order the correct bushings or give up and just get a new shifter coupler? Thanks in advance! Attached image(s)

Doesn't look right. Where is the part from/ who makes the bushing?

They're not gonna compress that much from installation in the housing.

Ordered on eBay (Before I discovered / remembered this site...) from classiccarsandparts in MD. I've communicated with them, they said that the original Porsche bushing measured 0.50 x .54 and is oval. So it seems their repro is true to the Porsche part, but is it the right Porsche part?

Its right for a 911, not really the same part as in a 914 though.
They will work but will add to any slop already existing in your linkage. |

Slop is what I'm trying to eliminate. Do the correct bushings fit tightly? Where should I order them from? (PET shows part # 911 424 223 03 - Is that still correct?)
So confused my head is starting to hurt! QUOTE(Racer Chris @ Sep 15 2016, 11:54 AM) Its right for a 911, not really the same part as in a 914 though. They will work but will add to any slop already existing in your linkage. |
