Who carries the bronze replacement bushing kit for the shift console? The only place I've found it is Patrick Motorsports and they want almost $20 to ship the $25 part.
thanks! Carl |

If the bronze bushing is over sized for the rod diameter you can sleeve the bushing. Go to a hobby shop or hardware store that stocks brass tubing for hobbyists/modellers. (It comes in telescoping sizes.) Buy a piece that slips smoothly and snuggly over the shift rod. Cut a section the length of the bronze bushing. Tin the bushing inner diameter and the brass tube outer diameter with solder. Slip the tube into the bushing and heat the assembly and flow some additional solder into the joint. Clean it up with a file and sand paper. Now you should have a snug custom fit bushing.
The various tranny console plastic bushings I have bought have all been oversize for the shift rod diameter. My steel shift rod had always ridden in the original and one replacement plastic bushing, so I really doubt there was a reduction in diameter due to abrasive friction wear. |
