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,

"Poly" bronze is a proprietary Elephant racing bushing with a layer of polyurethane wrapped around it to take up the slack on inconsistent suspension components. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Oil impregnated bronze or standard bronze is the more common bushing for this application.

Cleaning up your shift linkage (in terms of bushings and slop) is the single best thing to do to improve shifting quality.
