Porsche does not sell the bushings for the coupler, they want you to buy part 8.

This is a similar one for a 911, you can see the bushings.

Nice!

After all that work I'd be tempted to have some metal bushes fabbed.

They protect the shift forks from having to absorb all that wonderful vibration our cars produce, plus keep the shift lever from vibrating.

I got the part numbers for the bushings from the tech section and ordered them from my local dealer. Not too expensive, but they were not quite the right size since they fit the housing perfectly, but are loose on the pin.

Part 10 I bought on eBay, wasn't cheap. I believe Lizard used a heim joint instead...

I pulled all of this to rebuild the tranny and turbo....that was in March....of 2003!!!! When the tranny rebuild was delayed, I also yanked the motor and dash.

I guess it's about time to put it back together!

Does anyone know if the hole through the busings (part nr: 911 424 223 03 BTW) is round or somewhat oval. Looking at my old "not so worn" bushing it seems it might be oval and in that case maby my busing isn't worn after all (ballcup busing is on the other hand halfway gone)

My busings:

This is the one that is definetly gone (will be replace with a sollution like in the pics in this thread: http://www.924board.org/viewtopic.php?t=18374&highlight=914):

This is the one I'm asking about:

As you can see the hole looks oval on my picture above and the rod can be moved about 2 mm in the bushing. Is the bushing bad or is it ok?

If the hole should be completely round then I will consider making a bushing out of brassmetal but if it is supposed to be oval I will most probably order a new bushing from www.pelicanparts.com (might as well change it now when I have the parts removed from the car even if it is ok).

You need new bushings and IMO they should not be metal unless you like your shift lever and shift forks to rattle...

Decided to copy my questions into a new thread in the tec section: http://www.924board.org/viewtopic.php?t=21414

Sorry for duble posting like that but I think it fits better in that section and as a separate thread.
