Tz]CH TIPS OF THE MONTH: NEAT PAINT JOB (From the personal experiences of A. Lyle Arnold as told to Curt Kuebler). Planning to have your Porsche painted? ]Decide which parts Of the Car you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want excess spray to adhere to and ~oat these surfaces with a light oll film. Use an aerosol can of WD40 or similar oil-cleaner preservative as used on the engine.

SLOPPY GEARSHIFT LEVER -356B, C Models. If your gearshift lever seems loose and/or vibrates or rattles ~vhile at cruising speed, chances are the molded guide ring (Part No. 695 424-211101) has split. This guide ring is located directly below the shift lever back to transmission.

To replace the ring, remove the gearshift lever assembly and then disconnect the shift tube (remove the access plate at the foot of the rear seats and pull back the rubber boot. Mark the angular and longitudinal position of the tube with a sharp pointed scribe and then remove the clamp). Slide the tube forward in the tunnel until the guide ring bracket is free. Either install a new ring, or make a lifetime replacement from teflon. A teflon replacement should be made with smaller flange diameters to ease assembly. Following careful re-assembly, the gearshift Will~ bperate silently.
