I am pretty sure that I need any and all bushing used in a side shift 75, 1.8L, L-jet. However, neither AA nor PP have a package that comes out and says THESE ARE ALL of the bushings. I see 3 bushing kits, 5 bushing kits, 7 bushing kits, single bushings. Emailed AA and got no reply. The guy at AA's ebay site did reply (still no help). He directed me to buy their tech notes book, which I have. And BTW it has no complete bushing list either. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif)
Common sense may tell me to buy the largest kit, but I need details. Does anyone have a layout, pictures, a website link, anything that will definitively tell me what I need and where they go, what they are named. You see, my car is completely dismantled, so I can't just look at the old ones. I can, of course, see where a bushing might go, but I don't know the names of those locations. I am not from Missouri, but I do need someone to SHOW-ME. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Thanks, Clark |

Poly bronze shifter bushings are oil impregnated and machined to much closer tolerances than the OEM or aftermarket plastic bushings. They last longer and provide more accurate shifting. Every little bit helps. I also have them in the coupling at the front of the rear shift rod.
If you have a bronze console bushing, it's more than likely poly bronze. |

Hey Mark, Does anyone make one other than Patrick Motorsports? Can you recommend a supplier? |
