Gear Shift Selector Cover Kit 

Restore the smooth operation and protection of your Porsche 914's gear change mechanism with this OE Match Gear Shift Selector Cover Kit.

The gear shift selector cover is an important component of the gear linkage assembly, helping to protect the selector mechanism from dirt, dust, road debris and moisture while ensuring the moving components remain correctly supported. A damaged or missing cover can allow contaminants to enter the selector housing, accelerating wear and leading to stiff, imprecise or inconsistent gear changes.

Over decades of use, the original cover can become brittle, crack or deteriorate due to heat, oil contamination and exposure to the elements. During gearbox servicing or gear linkage refurbishment, replacing worn selector covers helps maintain the integrity of the shifting mechanism and contributes to the precise gear change for which the Porsche 914 is renowned.

Manufactured to OE Match standards, this kit provides excellent fitment and durability, making it ideal for routine maintenance, gearbox repairs or concours-quality restorations.

Porsche 914 Gear Shift Linkage & Transmission Components

The Porsche 914's mid-engine layout relies on a long gear linkage system that must operate smoothly and accurately to provide precise gear selection. Every component within the linkage plays an important role, including the selector cover, which helps protect the mechanism from contamination and unnecessary wear.

Replacing ageing gear linkage components during restoration or transmission servicing helps restore the crisp, positive gear changes originally engineered into the Porsche 914.

Why Replace the Gear Shift Selector Cover?

Over time, the original selector cover can become worn or damaged, reducing its ability to protect the gear selector assembly. Replacing it helps:

• Prevent dirt and moisture entering the selector mechanism
• Reduce premature wear of moving linkage components
• Improve long-term gearbox reliability
• Maintain smooth and consistent gear selection
• Restore the original appearance of the transmission assembly

As many Porsche 914s are now over 50 years old, replacing worn linkage components is an important part of any comprehensive restoration or maintenance programme.
