My mechanic said there is about an 1/8" slop in the ball and cup bushing. Would that translate to some of the poor shifting?
Also, another bushing that the rod goes through in the back. He said it appears that it is a bronze bushing? Anyone know what that particular one would be called? |

If the bronze bushing is over sized for the rod diameter you can sleeve the bushing. Go to a hobby shop or hardware store that stocks brass tubing for hobbyists. (It comes in telescoping sizes.) Buy a piece that slips smoothly and snuggly over the shift rod. Cut a section the length of the bronze bushing. Tin the bushing inner diameter and the brass tube outer diameter with solder. Slip the tube into the bushing and heat the assembly and flow some additional solder into the joint. Clean it up with a file and sand paper. Now you should have a snug custom fit bushing.
