Hello Everone,
Newbie here, '75 1.8, was out driving and lost ability to get into first or reverse, found that the rear bushing in the rear shifting linkage had disintegrated. This is the one at the rear fire wall between seat and engine. I think it's this: Shift Linkage Bushing For 964 - New/ReplacementS96442422300 How does this bushing stay in? Any insights appreciated. Thanks, Peter Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() |

All back together, new universal bushings and firewall bushings, thanks to Rich at High Performance house, he also suggested boiling the firewall bushing, that worked like a charm. Fan shroud also attached...so that was what was making that racket... Shifts precise and solidly, what a difference. Another tip from Rich was to not press in the bushing pin against the universal joint metal frame as it's not strong enough to take the force, only push on the pin and the rubber bushing.
Thanks all, Peter |

Thanks all, Peter Outstanding! The vendor community and technical support from members makes all the difference. I'm tackling this on a tail shift 1970 car. All of my shift rod bushings in the car are disintegrated to dust. Can't wait to see how it shifts after. ![]() |
