Porsche 356 Gearbox Selector Lever “Hockey Stick” Repair Shaft – Restoring Precise Gear Selection
The Porsche 741 gearbox selector lever, commonly
known as the “hockey stick” is a vital internal transmission
component responsible for translating gear lever movement into accurate gear
engagement. Fitted to Porsche 356 models equipped with the Type 741 manual
gearbox, this repair shaft ensures smooth, positive gear selection across all
ratios.
Fits:
- Porsche 356B 1959-63
Diagram ref no 13
Over time, wear within the selector lever shaft can lead to vague shifting, difficulty selecting gears, or excessive play in the gear lever. Replacing the hockey stick repair shaft during a gearbox overhaul restores factory-correct shift feel and protects surrounding transmission components from accelerated wear — a crucial step in any quality Porsche 356 transmission rebuild.
What Does the Porsche 356 741 Selector Lever “Hockey Stick” Do?
The 741 gearbox selector lever repair shaft connects
the external gear linkage to the internal selector mechanism inside the
transmission. Its job is to:
- Transfer driver gear lever inputs into the gearbox
- Align and engage the correct selector forks
- Maintain accurate shift positioning
- Deliver smooth, predictable gear changes
Because it sits at the heart of the gear selection system, even minor wear can significantly affect driving feel and shift accuracy.
Why Do Porsche 356 Selector Lever Shafts Fail?
On Porsche 356 models, selector lever (hockey stick) shafts
commonly fail due to:
- Long-term metal wear from repeated gear changes
- Insufficient lubrication
- Aged or degraded internal bushings and seals
- Misalignment caused by worn linkage components
Decades of use — even on low-mileage cars — can lead to ovalisation, surface wear, or damage that prevents clean gear engagement.
When Should You Replace a Porsche 356 Hockey Stick Repair Shaft?
You should replace the selector lever
repair shaft when:
- Rebuilding or overhauling the Type 741 gearbox
- Experiencing vague, notchy, or imprecise gear changes
- Gears are difficult to select or pop out under load
- Excessive play is present in the gear lever
- Restoring a Porsche 356 to factory driving standards
Replacing this component at the correct time helps restore the crisp, mechanical shift quality Porsche 356 gearboxes are known for.
At Design911, we supply high-quality Porsche transmission components to support accurate classic restorations and dependable road use.
