New 1986 Porsche 944 owner here. It's one of the job I'm going to do on my car. You're video is Really good. You're showing everything in detail...... Thanks a lot, you're going to make the job Way easier.......
The loktite is especially necessary for the ball end threaded into the top and tightened with the cut off wrench, (The one you didn’t use it on is the one that needs it most because you didn’t put much if any torque on it with the tiny wrench)
Everything worked beforehand, I just wanted to tighten everything up. With 40 year old bushings, there is going to be a bit of play that takes away from the driving experience.
@@TheMileHighMechanicawesome thanks, so currently i have a problem with my 944. It shifts when off and sometimes shifts while on! However its very inconsistent and is not drivable right now. I have tested the clutch snd it looks fine, but other than the shifter linkage im not sure what it could be. Any tips would be awesome, Thanks
@@TheMileHighMechanicnot really while i was driving it, it just kept getting harder to shift, snd then sometimes i shifted i could feel it just didn’t catch the gear
@@diegodoby950 sounds like it could be a synchro issue. To rule out the shifter assembly, I would try to hit every gear while the car is off, if you can do that then the shifting assembly is likely to be fine. I would check/change your transmission fluid as low or old fluid can affect the way the transmission shifts. If the fluid does not fix it, it might be an issue within the transmission itself.

Hey, don't shoot the messenger here...I was following the directions that I was sent🤷
thank you for Sharing This !!
Absolutely!
The crush/lock washer goes directly under the nut, to stop possible rotation (loosening). Basic mechanics.
👍
Did you do this because you could not shift?

@@diegodoby950 Are you saying that it is popping out of gear?
