After putting new bushings in the trans bracket for the shifter rod, I still had a lot of slop. Taking it apart and measuring found the following. New Bushings are 0.600 inside dia and 0.815 outside dia. My bracket hole for the bushing is 0.830 and my rod is 0.588. Made another bushing for the rod that is slightly larger. Will get back later to let all know how it turns out.
Also made a couple of bushings for the yoke at the fire wall. Press fit and hone to fit pin. This tightened up that area very well. I used a white delrin material to make the bushings out of as this material is supposed to be good for this type of application. ![]() ![]() ![]() Later, Tom |

I used a white delrin material to make the bushings out of as this material is supposed to be good for this type of application. I got some bushings form ebay. They fit terrible. The holes were oval shaped. Some stated this is correct. I never used them. I will make my own bushings also. I will use a moly filled nylon. This is what I used on the console shift bushing. The console was worn so I bored it oversize. Made a bushing to fit and secured it with a snap ring. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...c=62845&hl= |
