914Rubber Shift Lever Ball Bushing for Porsche 914 (1970-72)

Restore crisp, precise shifting to your Porsche 914 with the 914Rubber Shift Lever Ball Bushing, 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 hands-on technical knowledge.

This OEM reproduction shift lever ball bushing (Part #914.424.512.00) installs at the pivot point of the shift rod at the firewall, reducing slop in the tail-shift linkage. Crafted from self-lubricating Delrin plastic, it offers low friction and high durability, resisting wear compared to degraded originals that cause vague shifting. PMB Performance has fitted these bushings in countless 914s, with customers noting, “Shifting feels tight and precise, like a new car!” Two bushings are required per car, one per side of the shift rod pivot.

Why this part? Worn bushings lead to loose, imprecise gear changes, especially in 914s with tail-shift transmissions where mid-engine dynamics amplify shifter play. This bushing restores factory feel, ensuring smooth engagement without linkage binding. It’s a direct-fit replacement, requiring no modifications, and is critical for maintaining the 914’s responsive driving experience. For detailed installation steps, including lubrication tips, visit 914Rubber’s Tribal Knowledge Wiki.

Installation requires a 10mm wrench, snap ring pliers, and lithium grease. Access the shift rod at the firewall (under the rear trunk), remove the old bushing, apply grease, and install the new one, ensuring proper seating in the pivot. Secure with the snap ring and check for smooth rod movement. Torque any disturbed bolts to 8 Nm. Two bushings are needed per car, compatible with all 1970-72 914 models, including 914-6.

With PMB Performance’s 20 years of Porsche restoration experience and 914Rubber’s precision engineering, this shift lever ball bushing delivers reliability and authenticity. Whether you’re carving corners or cruising to a car show, trust us to keep your 914’s shifter dialed in. Questions? Call (855) 786-7101 or email Support@pmbperformance.com.
