this is the set screw for your shift coupler and transmission. It's located under the little access panel on the floor between the two rear seats. Don't know the PN.

we all answered at the same time, ha!

I add that it will be important to re-adjust the coupler linkage as a part of reinstallation. And some (including yours truly after some recent advice) use a mild thread locking fluid during reinstallation.

Thanks for all the quick feedback (WOW). I have my engine on the stand and we (w/ motorcycle mechanic friend) are starting to reassemble. The issue, when he disassembled, he did not take pictures or bag parts. So, we're piecing together a 1000 piece puzzle with limited recall and logical deduction.

If you like to see where I am on the project, send me an email at dirk.racine@gmail.com and I will link you to my google photo's album.

You are welcome. I live in NorCal but grew up in Milwaukee. Grandma and grampa lived in Franksviille.

Lots of friends and family still in that area.

I have some experience so let me know if I can help. I will try to send an e-mail later today to check out your pictures.

"...when he disassembled, he did not take pictures or bag parts."

Aye caramba!

Good luck with that. You've come to the right place, lots of remote puzzle solvers here that are willing to help.

Or, it could also be the set screw that is at the base of the shifter.

groupe 911..very true ,the early 911`s had conical screw under the shift socket with square heads for 8 mm wrench plus a hole to secure wire thru it.

Just did my 74 this seek and it had the allen head type set screw.

maybe some has changed it already to the new type before your time?

One would not usually remove the shifter when doing engine and tranny R&R. But you do have to disconnect the tranny shift rod from the shift tube. Removing this set screw is one way to do that... a way that may preserve the coupler adjustment. If one does decouple in that manner, it may still be a good idea to adjust the coupler during re-installation.

there's been at least one of those rolling around free in every 911 ive ever owneds tunnel! they grow legs and run off into the tunnel if your allen is not magnetized.
