915 shift coupler bushings

[gunscrossed]

I was going to buy a new shift rod coupling from Porsche for my 915 box but I see you can also buy new bushings for them.

Any opinions on what material works best, I’ve seen poly bushes and also derilium (?)

Could do without forking out for one of the custom linkages.

I fitted poly from Matt. 5 minute job and a world of difference. Mind you the originals had fallen apart

Watch this before you change them yourself, it’s quite easy to break the housing

There seem to be at least three different sets of bushes,

I think it will be a matter of your personal preference. Or maybe ask @Type911 which he sells most of and if he gets much feedback about them.

Superpro on both my cars, no complaints.

I did the 3.2 myself over 10 years ago without problems.

My SC had them in place when I acquired it. Installed by an Indi, probably over 8 years ago.

Superpro are the most popular, but they are also the cheapest!

They are all pretty much the same

Superpro in mine for the Coupler bushes,   but I need to replace the main shifter linkage bush as that's kaput now, not a Superpro at the moment.
