Hi,
The plastic cover for my side shifter linkage is not installed. To install it, I need to separate the shift rod from the shift rod end. Separate #27 from #24 in this diagram... (IMG:http://www.pelicanparts.com/914/Parts/Pedals/shift_linkage_side_big.jpg) Any tips? I have the tapered screw out (#23), but the two pieces seem very tightly joined. I have searched, but most refer to the joint close to the firewall. Will I be able to replace the plastic cover with just this joint removed, or will I need to take off the firewall joint as well. Thanks, Walter |

You can use heat as well, but make sure the surface is relatively clean so you dont start a class B fire (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I am a 914 newbie- have been struggling with the same problem (getting the shift rod head off of the rod). My car is a 76 2.0 and it looks like the rear bushings have never been replaced. The cover is in great shape but found rust on the rod.
Have tried PB blaster, heat, beat, repeat, and small gear puller. No fires yet but have melted the old ball cup bushing! I am trying hard not to bugger up the head and the trans casting. In the meantime I have rebuilt the shifter and replaced the firewall bushing but I am (literally) stuck. I have thought about reconnecting the two shift rods and shifter and using the gear lever to pull/twist on the shift rod. Anybody ever done this? Thanks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) |
