Since my mechanic here in town hasn't got back with me on the install of the bronze shifter bushing and the ball and cup bushing that are a bit sloppy. Thinking of trying it myself.
I would presume the shifter has to come apart somewhere in order to get them in place? How hard of a job is it, just in case he doesn't get back with me............ |

The bronze bushings tend to wear out the rest of the shift linkage system. I just replaced those same bushings the other weekend. disassembly doesn't take very long especially if you follow the Haynes instructions however getting the bushings into the "universal coupling" as its called by most CO's is very difficult it took a vise a alot of brute strength along with some makeshift engineering. While you have the main shift bar out of the car i would suggest also replacing the rest of the bushings in the shift linkage system. If your mechanic is specifically a 914 mechanic i would suggest letting him replace the bushings |
