Having found that my slopping shifting was due to an absence of the firewall bushing. I proceeded to attempt to install one. After 2 hours of frustration and pain, I abandoned my effort to fight another day. Does anyone have an easy way(or easier) to install this bushing? Any comments are greatly appreciated- Rolf

Place the bushing in a pot of boiling hot water. This will make the bushing pliable. Use a wide blade sdrew driver to give it some help. It will resume its original shape after it cools. You can't install it with the shift rod in place.

Once it is soft I usually give it a slap with a rubber mallet...pops right in! |
