914Rubber Side Shifter Transmission Housing Cover for Porsche 914 (1973-76)
Safeguard your Porsche 914’s side-shift transmission with the 914Rubber Side Shifter Transmission Housing Cover, designed for 1973-76 models with 901 or 915 transmissions. 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 housing cover (Part #PCG.424.501.01) protects the shift linkage at the transmission, replacing corroded or damaged originals. Crafted from high-strength cast aluminum, it provides a robust seal against road debris and moisture, critical for maintaining smooth shifting. The cover includes pre-drilled mounting holes and a machined surface for the sealing sleeve (Part #901.741.291.00, not included), ensuring a tight fit. PMB Performance has installed these in numerous 914 rebuilds, with customers noting, “The linkage stays clean, and shifting feels solid!” One cover is required per car, compatible with the span band (Part #914.424.503.01, not included).
Why this part? A compromised housing cover exposes the shift mechanism to grit and water, causing gritty shifts or premature wear, especially in 914s where the mid-engine layout places the transmission low to the ground. This cover restores factory protection, ensuring reliable gear engagement. It’s a direct-fit replacement, though cleaning the mounting surface is key for a proper seal. For detailed installation steps, visit 914Rubber’s Tribal Knowledge Wiki.
Installation requires a 10mm socket, torque wrench, and gasket sealant (not included). Access the transmission, remove the old cover, clean the mating surface, and apply sealant to the new cover’s flange. Secure with bolts, torquing to 10 Nm for a leak-free fit. Ensure the sealing sleeve aligns with the shift rod. One cover is needed per car, compatible with 1973-76 914 models, including 914-6.
With PMB Performance’s 20 years of Porsche restoration experience and 914Rubber’s precision engineering, this housing cover delivers durability and performance. Whether you’re rebuilding a 914’s transmission or maintaining a daily driver, trust us to keep your linkage protected. Questions? Call (855) 786-7101 or email Support@pmbperformance.com.
