Friction Ring For Shift Rod Support Bracket. Porsche 911 / 912 1965-68  ❭  90142429102

Friction Ring For Shift Rod Support Bracket.
The Porsche Friction Ring  is a genuine OEM component designed for the shift rod support bracket in classic Porsche models. Acting as a sliding bushing, it provides smooth and precise movement of the shift rod, ensuring reliable gear engagement and reducing unwanted play in the gearshift mechanism.

Fits:

• Porsche 911 1965-1968 2.0L / 912 SWB (F)

What This Product Does:
It sits in the shift rod support bracket / shift rod mounting area, where the shift rod slides through a guide or bracket. The friction ring provides a smooth, controlled interface: it helps guide the rod, reduce vibration, play, and provide resistance so shifting feels solid.

Symptoms Of A Failing Or Worn Friction Ring:
Loose or sloppy gear shift.
Clunking / rattling noises near the gearbox or under the car when shifting.
Poor shift feel — notchy, knuckle-draggy or inconsistent gear engagement.
Accelerated wear on shift rod / bracket surfaces.
In some cases binding or sticking of the shift rod if debris enters the worn area or the ring is too loose.

Why Replacement Matters:

• Maintains precise gear shifts — solid, accurate shifting feel important especially in vintage / classic cars.
• Prevents further damage to the shift rod, bracket, or linkage components — a worn ring damages adjacent metal parts.
• Reduces noise/vibration — unwanted play or rattling can be irritating and also a sign of wear elsewhere.
