Who was making replacement bushings for the shift rod and transmission housing on a side shift?
Like all the bushings from the firewall to the transmission. Someone was machining them out of bronze if I remember correctly. Did those work better? J West was selling a kit that had all this stuff and more - if I could find it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) Or what is the best set up available now? |

GPR also sells the Bronze bushing for sideshift ear...
Patrick sells a nice firewall bushing but takes some machining to the inner shift rod... Racer Chris is working on a complete Shift Rod kit like the one JWest quit producing earlier this year... |

... Patrick sells a nice firewall bushing but takes some machining to the inner shift rod... One of the cars here right now has the Patrick firewall bushing. We like it. I'd rather not need to turn the shift rod down however. Unfortunately, no one makes a 20mm id spherical bearing - until now! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I bought a glass-filled Nylon 3/4" (19mm) id bearing and figured out how to hold it in the lathe to remove another millimeter from the bore. Once I make a proper support housing for it, I'll mount it on my car for performance testing. The big unknown will be longevity. Will it last as long as (or longer than) a stock plastic bushing? BTW, here's what I shipped to Randal this week: ![]() The shiny flat piece is a drill template for the console. |
