Good morning - film at 11 but trying to sort out a new to me 914 with a sideshifter and haven't come across this issue yet.
The car actually shifts great (gearbox and syncros etc) but the shift rod will rotate around 45-degrees from side to side in my hand. Imaging looking straight down on top of the shifter and then pivoting the ball/rod 45-degrees from side to side. I've tried to illustrate that with the red curve I added to this schematic below. That seems to suggest that either #9 or #11 are very worn and ovaled out maybe? Thanks in advance for any thoughts or experiences.  |

Yes it's at the base where it attaches to the "ball". You can remove, clean it up, scuff it, and epoxy back in.

QUOTE(914werke @ Jan 28 2021, 01:24 PM)  Weld it OK - now I think I get it, the shaft near #9 is what is rotating so a bead of weld there will fix it. Yes? |

Yes... but make sure you take it completely apart because there is a plastic bushing in the shifter base you will melt when trying to weld it. Clay |

Also, I had one that had been repaired with a big weld and was coming into contact with #1 when shifting the arm from side to side limiting its movement.

Thank you for all of the considerations – I was able to fix this this morning and nobody say that it shifts really-really well now.
