so way back in Nov my 914 stop going into gear?
I finally put it up on my lift. and found that the fire wall coupling bushing falled.
I looked at Pelican, just can't find that part?
any idea where to get one?

OK NOW THAT THE BUSHING IS IN IT FEELS LIKE I DON'T HAVE A 3RD?

DON'T BUY THE PORSCHE GREY ONES!! The OEM replacements are made for a 911 and have some slop built in. The black aftermarket ones are a better replacement.


Okay.

I used a vise and some sockets as a press to push the pin out of the middle and push it back in again. I'm enough of a klutz that I didn't want to be trying to hammer the pin out...

Thanks mark! you rock.

Man, mine was significantly more difficult to remove than that! I think people in wet/cold climes may find theirs rusted pretty badly like mine was. I did it like Dave, but I needed lots of heat, penetrating oil, a great big cheater bar, and a lot of swearing patience. Not sure if this or the pedal cluster pin removal was more of a PITA.

I put a brass one in so I wouldn't have to go through that again, but they are more expensive.

Ah, that brings up a good point. The shift rod portion (in the center) and the pin are both steel. ANY time you're assembling steel to steel you should massage in some oil or grease. Not just wipe it on, and not necessarily a bunch. Just a thin thin layer of oil/grease to try and ward off any corrosion. This is especially true of press-fit joints.

When we, as enthusiasts, rebuild parts we have a tendency to clean everything really well. And that's great and worthwhile, but sometimes you gotta add a little 'dirty' back onto these old cars to keep them happy.
