I searched but could not find... I have a '74 with side shift and ALL fairly new bushings. If I grab the linkage and move it from the firewall back, everything is nice and tight. The shifter though has roughly 4" of play side to side at the knob. As of a couple weeks ago, third has become difficult to find
There does not appear to be any support for the shift rod inside the tunnel other than the firewall bushing. Is this correct? Is there a better solution? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

Yup, somehow the rotational translation of the shift rod is not being communicated with fidelity every time. If bushings are new, and your shifter is fine (I still doubt it) then the cone screw is next in line. If that is good, then you may need to pull the shift console off of the gear box and inspect. Luckily it is a simple system (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
