After putting new bushings in the trans bracket for the shifter rod, I still had a lot of slop. Taking it apart and measuring found the following. New Bushings are 0.600 inside dia and 0.815 outside dia. My bracket hole for the bushing is 0.830 and my rod is 0.588. Made another bushing for the rod that is slightly larger. Will get back later to let all know how it turns out.
Also made a couple of bushings for the yoke at the fire wall. Press fit and hone to fit pin. This tightened up that area very well. I used a white delrin material to make the bushings out of as this material is supposed to be good for this type of application. ![]() ![]() ![]() Later, Tom |

Hello 914 World... technically this is my first post if anyone is curious!
I recently purchased my 1972 914 with a converted 73 side shift transmission and a botched short shifter job where it only had 2nd, 3rd, & 5th gears(although 5th was very tough to find!), I've since installed a factory shifter and removed the spacer plate that was installed as part of the previous owners modifications... although now I only have 2nd and Reverse (which is a pain to get into). It goes without saying that I need new shifter bushings (and perhaps some alignment too?) so I figured I'd start there... So my first question... is anyone making high quality bushings like those mentioned previously out of Delrin yet or would I have to ask a member here super nicely to run off a set for me?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) P.S. I've already experienced the challenging journey of shifter disassembly and reassembly... with race springs twice as stiff as the factory set, talk about shooting an eye out! YIKES.
