914Rubber Tail Shift Transmission Rubber Strap for Porsche 914 (1970-72)
Secure your Porsche 914’s tail-shift transmission linkage with the 914Rubber Tail Shift Transmission Rubber Strap, 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 rubber strap (Part #914.424.502.00) fastens the plastic shift cover to the firewall, anchoring the sealing sleeve (Part #914.424.297.00, not included) to protect the shift rod from dirt and moisture. Crafted from flexible, UV-resistant EPDM rubber, it offers superior durability compared to brittle originals that crack over time. PMB Performance has used these in numerous 914 restorations, with customers noting, “The linkage stays clean, and the strap holds firm!” One strap is required per car, compatible with the plastic shift cover but not the 914Rubber Front Tail Shift Housing Cover (Part #PCG.424.501.00).
Why this part? A worn or missing strap allows the shift cover to loosen, exposing the linkage to contaminants that cause gritty shifts or wear, especially in 914s where the mid-engine layout places the linkage low. This strap ensures a tight, secure fit, maintaining smooth shifting 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 and isopropyl alcohol for cleaning. Access the plastic shift cover at the firewall (under the rear trunk), remove the old strap, clean the mounting surface, and secure the new strap over the sealing sleeve, ensuring a tight fit. Check for proper tension to prevent cover movement. One strap 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 rubber strap delivers reliability and protection. Whether you’re maintaining a daily driver or restoring a classic 914, trust us to keep your transmission linkage secure. Questions? Call (855) 786-7101 or email Support@pmbperformance.com.
