So....MPS is solved for now - next!
Digging around today, I found that my (as suspected) firewall bushing was in 3 pieces. So...I'd prefer to go the Tangerine route along with doing all the other bushings. I know the instructions say that a right-angle drill is needed for the install with the engine in - any tips? Other ways? I don't have a right angle drill - any input on maybe a good adapter for my current "standard" drill? I'll probably go full-boat with the Tangerine system from the firewall back - cuz while i'm in there..... thanks! b |

Are you referring to the bushing for the shift rod as it passes through the firewall?

Several of your local Chinese tool stores sell an angle adapter for a regular drill. $15.00. Should work for one hole. Or get an angle drill for $44.00.

QUOTE(Cairo94507 @ Oct 8 2025, 07:46 AM)  ...and then you have a new small hammer when you're done. Yeah, it's a PITA to get a regular drill in there for the three holes (I did mine with the engine out). But for three holes, the HammerFreight tool will work and be a lot less stress: https://www.harborfreight.com/38-in-90-angl...ment-69337.html And that bearing is worth the extra $20 (assuming you don't have a coupon) |

Milwaukee right angle adapter is 20 bux at home depot. Got me out of a few tight jams on my 914s.

Perfect. Thanks folks.
Actually looking forward to this - I suspected that bushing was out or well on its way. |

Going all-in with Tangerine parts will transform your car.
I did it with the six (firewall bushing, rod and modification at the gearbox). Feels a little heavier, but really accurate. |
