Porsche 356B Selector Shaft “Hockey Stick” – Type 741 Gearbox Gear Selection Control
The Porsche 356B selector shaft, commonly referred to as the “hockey stick”, is a critical gear selection component used in Type 741 manual gearboxes fitted to the Porsche 356B range. This precision-machined shaft transmits movement from the external gear linkage into the internal selector mechanism, allowing accurate engagement of each gear.
Fits:
- Porsche 356B 1959-63
Diagram ref no 13
As one of the most frequently used components within the transmission, the selector shaft is subject to long-term mechanical wear. When tolerances are lost, gear selection becomes vague, notchy, or inconsistent. Replacing the hockey stick during gearbox servicing or restoration restores factory-correct shift feel and helps protect internal gearbox components from premature wear.
What Does the Porsche 356B 741 Selector Shaft (“Hockey Stick”) Do?
The selector shaft for the Type 741 gearbox sits at
the interface between the gear lever linkage and the internal selector forks.
Its function is to:
- Convert driver gear lever input into precise selector movement
- Align and engage the correct selector forks within the gearbox
- Maintain accurate gear positioning under load
- Deliver smooth, positive gear changes
Because it directly controls gear engagement, even minor wear can significantly affect the driving experience of a Porsche 356B.
Why Do Porsche 356B Selector Shafts Fail?
Selector shafts in Porsche 356B 741 gearboxes
typically fail due to:
- Decades of repeated gear changes causing surface wear
- Ovalisation of the shaft at contact points
- Insufficient lubrication or degraded gearbox oil
- Wear in related linkage or selector components
Age is often the primary factor — even lightly driven vehicles can suffer from worn selector shafts simply due to time and use.
When Should You Replace a Porsche 356B Hockey Stick Selector Shaft?
You should replace the Porsche 356B selector shaft (hockey stick) when:
Rebuilding or servicing a Type 741 gearbox Gear selection feels vague, sloppy, or imprecise Gears are difficult to engage or disengage Excessive play is present in the gear lever Restoring a Porsche 356B to original driving standards
Replacing the selector shaft at the correct time restores the crisp, mechanical shift quality Porsche 356B models are known for.
At Design911, we supply carefully selected Porsche transmission components to support accurate restorations and dependable classic performance.
