914Rubber Front Tail Shift Transmission Cover Sealing Sleeve for Porsche 914 (1970-72)
Protect your Porsche 914’s tail-shift transmission linkage with the 914Rubber Front Tail Shift Transmission Cover Sealing Sleeve, designed for 1970-72 models. PMB Performance, with 20 years of Porsche expertise, is the leading 914Rubber retailer, selling more of their SKUs than anyone else. Our nearly two-decade partnership with 914Rubber ensures you get OEM-quality parts backed by deep technical knowledge.
This OEM reproduction sealing sleeve (Part #914.424.297.00) installs on the plastic shift cover at the firewall, sealing the shift rod to prevent dirt, water, and debris from entering the linkage. Made from high-quality, UV-resistant EPDM rubber, it offers superior durability and flexibility compared to brittle originals that crack over time. PMB Performance has used these in numerous 914 restorations, with customers noting, “Shifting stays clean and smooth, no more grit in the linkage!” One sleeve is required per car, secured by the rubber strap (Part #914.424.502.00, not included). Note: This sleeve is not compatible with the 914Rubber Front Tail Shift Housing Cover (Part #PCG.424.501.00).
Why this part? A worn or missing sealing sleeve exposes the shift mechanism to contaminants, leading to gritty shifts or premature wear, especially in 914s where the mid-engine layout places the linkage in a vulnerable position. This sleeve ensures a tight seal, maintaining clean operation and extending linkage life. It’s a direct-fit replacement for tail-shift 914s, requiring no modifications. For detailed installation steps, visit 914Rubber’s Tribal Knowledge Wiki.
Installation requires a screwdriver, isopropyl alcohol for cleaning, and the rubber strap for securing. Access the plastic shift cover at the firewall (under the rear trunk), remove the old sleeve, clean the mounting surface, and install the new sleeve, ensuring it seats properly over the shift rod. Secure with the rubber strap, checking for a snug fit. One sleeve is needed per car, compatible with 1970-72 914 models, including 914-6.
With PMB Performance’s 20 years of Porsche restoration experience and 914Rubber’s precision engineering, this sealing sleeve delivers reliability and protection. Whether you’re maintaining a daily driver or restoring a classic 914, trust us to keep your transmission linkage pristine. Questions? Call (855) 786-7101 or email Support@pmbperformance.com.
