I have modest goals for my car this spring/summer. Mostly I want to drive it a bit more and get it shifting better. It's a tailshiftin' /6. Last summer (I move at a snail's pace at times) I bought a bunch of bushings from Pelican for the car. Tonight I propped the rear end of the car up on jackstands and had a look around.
First I pulled the rear grease cover thingie and looked at the tail end:  Not too bad. Then I pulled off the covers at the firewall:  Hey! Where's the bushing? Then I got to thinking, "Hmmm... Isn't there supposed to be another one somewhere in the middle?  Wait a minute! There's not only not a bushing. The bracket that's supposed to hold it is missing too! (At least I think that's where it goes.) And of course, the bracket is special to the 914/6, so it's probably made of unobtainium. I can do the work necessary to install the firewall bushing and might as well replace the rear one since I have a new one. Any idea where to get the bracket? Like I said in the subject, I'm surprised it shifts at all. And I haven't even looked under the shift lever yet (got a part for there as well - 911-424-139-00). Thx, Skip |

Yes, I believe so, at least according to my copy of the parts manual. The /4 and
the /6 apparently differ a fair amount in that region.  Skip |

So 914-424-012-00 is at the end of the shift rod? Where does the third bushing go?
The parts manual says three are required for both /6 and /4. What attaches to that bare stud on the engine case? Thx, Skip |

Inside the center tunnel. Pull your shifter and you'll find the third one. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
