WTB: Shift rod for 6 conversion, side shift trans, Got one sitting around? Options

[koozy]

I'm looking for a shift rod for 6 conversion, side shift trans. Does anyone have one sitting around?

Thanks, Mike

I am building a 914/4. I was pressing the pin out of my old shifter to replace the bushing in the U-joint and it exploded. No kidding. I probably should had shot it with penetrating oil, but there was no sign of corrosion. Save yourself a lot of grief and buy new from Tangerine racing. It looks to be a superior product anyhow. The gear shift linkage in 914s were horrible in the first place.

The couplers are fragile and will no take much pressure without breaking.
I had a shift rod with a stuck pin, Heated it with a torch do soften and dig out the bushings. Then heated with a Map gas torch trying to direct to heat on the pin and not the aluminum coupler. With the bushings out you can insert a socket through the coupler to contacting the square block. With it supported there you can use a vise or BFH and punch to loosen the pin. Worked it back and forth until the pin cam out.

Nice billet couplers are made fir 911 which work in a 914.
