Hi,
My shift rod bushing cracked after I pull the shift rod from the car. The middle bush is riveted. Do I have drill out the rivet and intall a screw? Thanks, Pony Attached thumbnail(s) |

What you're looking at is the end of the shaft that the coupling rotates on. The bushings are on the outside of the shaft and on the inside of the coupling housing. You need to press the shaft out to get the bushings out. I had to take mine to a machine shop to get the shaft pushed out.
That is not a rivet and don't drill it out or you'll destory the shaft. Order new bushings (there are two, they are split, one for each side) and have a look at them. It will be clearer when see the replacement bushing pieces. Paul |
