I purchased a set of shift coupler bushings on ebay. Cost about 20.00. I could have made them but 20.00 was easy enough. Ad stated they were new OEM. I got them and found the hole for the pin is oversize. The hole measured .500" It is ovaled as stated in the ad. The pin is 12mm (.472") Seller is complaining that I do not know what I am doing and that this (.030") slop is correct. I am dead sure it is not but I have been wrong before.
I suspect that these are either wrong and the seller is a BS'er or they are for a different car and the seller is not familiar with the 914 as he says he is. Has anyone been throuth this before? BTW he has a very high score. I want to give him the benfit of the doubt. |

I think that is for the 911's...according to what I've seen they work fine and it's not something to worry about...
