Shift Rod Bushing (In tunnel by the firewall), 914-424-224-03 Very small play (Is this normal?) Options

[ndfrigi]

Hi Teeners,

I got two separate order from two different vendors of the bushing because the 1st one I got seems to have a very small play when I test fit the bushing to the shift rod. So I was thinking the vendor sent me a wrong bushing. I order another one but now when I test fit it again to the shift rod, the same play I'm getting.

Both bushing from two different vendor has the same part number 914-424-224-03 indicated on both plastic bag. It this the right shift rod bushing by the firewall? My shift rod diameter is very much straight. My old one that I removed has the same fitment or play with the new bushing.


Thanks again!

Thanks for the responsed! Well I already installed the new one and same as the old one I removed! well atleast I tried and pretty easy to replace. I know tangerine has the perfect replacement for that bushing but not on my budget and still trying to find how I can improve 1st to 2nd shifting since it grinds a little bit but down shifting to 2nd is impossible to get in. all bushings replaced already. My original tranny has the same issue on this 2nd tranny I borrowed from my other 914 project. So i was thinking maybe just bushings that need to replace. Unless coincidence my two tranny has both the same internal tranny parts issue.
