Worn SC throttle lever......
The throttle cross shaft that mounts on the engine in my SC has worn to a sloppy fit. This is the shaft/bracket that the rod from the throttle body connects to. It is part number 67 in the 911 servicing manual. Should this shaft have bushings or does it normally ride in the cast bracket? The wear is enough that I now have about 1/2" of free play at the throttle pedal with all of the adjustments taken up. Any ideas on fitting bushings? Or does the bracket have to be replaced?

They can be rebuilt. Bushings are available (unless things have changed)

2 white plastic washer grommets fit into the bracket and support the cross rod.

I replaced my "non-existent" bushings while performing a partail engine drop to replace the leaking oil pressure switch - and did the thermostat o-ring while I was there. On an SC (CIS), I don't think you can get to this without a partial drop.

Hi!
I just noticed the same on my '78. I ended up using the plastic tip of a silicone squeeze tube to make new bushings. I've ordered the replacements from our host, but I'm waiting for the temps to drop to double digits before I do this job. No need to do a partial drop. Take out the heater blower and all those sharp nasty brackets and you should be able to reach everything. Might as well do your vacuum lines while you're in there!!! here is the part... Shaft Bushing, 911 (1978-83) 901-423-253-00-M260 $3.00 Oh, good time to clean and re-lube those connector rod things. Brad

You mean this thing? I just did this at work. How timely and topical! I found a thermometer well at work, cut it to length, stuck it in my old junk lathe, and trimmed it down on the OD. I have to enlarge the hole in the center to 8mm.
It would have been easier to find bushings, were I not so lazy. Pat
