Sloppy shifter...

After more than 250.000 km you cannot expect a perfect gear change anymore. The 944 uses a poly bushing for the shifter which bottoms out and gives a real sloppy shifter feeling, because at the same time the shifter shaft wears out, too..
Luckily, the American company only944.com comes to the rescue. They redesigned the shifter linkage and support the poly bushing and shaft with axial bearings. A lot of customers are really satisfied with this set up and for 60 USD I gave it a shot:

The quality of this laser cut part is really nice and it even comes with some loctite threadlocker!
You can learn more about this kit on their website - on the bottom of the page is a nice illustration how it works :

In fact, they also offer high quality seals for the Targa roof  and lots more...

The Porsche is currently stored in a garage, but I will start working on it as soon as the other projects are finished!
