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............ |

We finally noticed that the bronze bushing was about and 1/8" longer than the one that we took out. I'm guessing it was shortened on purpose because of the modified shifter for the Subie, I don't know but he shortened it and now it shifts into gear.
Also he mentioned that when putting it into 1st to push down on the stick shift will make it easier? I hadn't heard of that before. Also, I'm not sure why it grinds into reverse, unless I shut it off and put it into gear first. Sometimes it goes into gear harder when not moving, but maybe that is just normal?? |
