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

I took a block of wood, actually a piece of yard timber, and drilled a hole a little larger than the pin diameter. I placed the joint assembly over the hole in the block and was able to carefully tap the pin out using a drift and hammer. Be careful and patient so you don't break the aluminum casting.

When these bushings fail, and they will, you will loose all precision in the linkage. Replace them. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
