I have been driving the 914 this week to work , perfect weather and better gas mileage than truck, anyway sudden loss of all gears but 2&3, had just left neighborhood so put car back in garage and last night I found that the shifter coupling bushing was completely gone, all the parts still inside the dirt boot cover, and of course this is a bushing I overlooked last time the motor and trans were out of the car!
It may be the original one . At first I thought I had a cone screw back out but on further inspection found this to be the culprit. So I see that there are 3-4 variations of these from bronze to stock to poly. I am wondering if it’s worth spending the extra $25 for the brass ones? Seems there are not any available that I can get over night to get car back on road before next weekend which is a bummer. So any money have suggestion are appreciate, also do we use any lube on installation. Phil This brass one looks pretty good how do the work? Attached thumbnail(s) |

I installed one of Chris' spherical bushings on my '75 (the 'BB') and it really improved the shifting (along with bronze coupler bushings and a bronze shift console bushing). Due to special circumstances, I had to modify the bushing's housing a tad to inset it into the firewall, as I was unable to engage all gears, and didn't want to go through the process to move the motor and trans rearward. YMMV ... in normal instances, you should be able to bolt (or rivet) it to your firewall without modifications ... especially on a late model's firewall. |
