Diagram Ref No 56

Designed to support smooth movement within the gear selection linkage, this nylon component helps minimise friction and excessive play.

Over time, the original nylon material can wear, crack or deteriorate, contributing to imprecise gear selection.

What Does It Do?

The nylon friction ring ball provides a low-friction contact surface within the gear linkage mechanism, allowing connected components to move smoothly while maintaining correct positioning.

Why Does It Fail?

Common causes include:

  • Wear from repeated gear changes
  • Age-related nylon deterioration
  • Cracking or deformation
  • Excessive linkage movement
  • Damage during previous repairs

When Should It Be Replaced?

Replace the component if you notice:

  • Excessive play in the gear linkage
  • Loose or imprecise gear selection
  • Visible cracking or wear
  • Deterioration during linkage servicing

Checks & Diagnosis

Inspect the linkage for worn bushes, loose connections and damaged ball joints. Check the nylon component for excessive movement or deformation.

Installation Notes

Inspect surrounding linkage components during replacement. Ensure the new friction ring ball is correctly seated and check gear selection operation after installation.

Porsche 911, 914 & 930 Gear Linkage Parts

The gear shift linkage relies on correctly fitted bushes, friction rings and ball joints to provide smooth, precise gear selection.

Design911 supplies Porsche gear linkage bushes, ball joints, shift couplings and associated manual transmission components.
