Creeky Gear Stick !

[JG911]

My gearstick has started to make a funny creeking noise when i go to shift a gear is this normal or is a drop of oil needed some where

What model of 911 is it. There are many different shifters that were put into the cars over the years. I would not go the oil route...it is too thin to provide long lasting lubrication. First thing I would do is check the bushings in the system to see if they are intact or excessivily worn. If they are ok disassemeble the shift linkage and use a good synthetic greese on all of the bushings and pivot points.

White lithium grease is what I used when I put new bushings in. Works great. You can find the stuff anywhere.

Iv got a 1984 915 box goes in all the gears perfect,just creeks a bit.

While moisture isn't usually plentiful around the shift housing, I've seen my share of corroded shift housings. White lithium grease is okay but isn't waterproof. Instead, I'd suggest a waterproof synthetic grease.

The creaking noise could also be an imminent sign the shift lever is about to depart. The lower part is epoxied onto the upper part. After 20+ years, the glue says adios and the upper lever/shift knob assy. parts company with the part that can't leave.
