I got most of the material I ordered so I started to install some of the goodies.
We tried to get the shift rod balls on the shift rod just after the fire wall, without any success. I know someone said to heat them. I tried using boiling water, no success. I will try with heating the ball and freezing the steel part. Any other suggestion. These balls are hard and tricky to get aligned straight. Again open for any advice. Thanks |

I have not needed to use heat or cold….so I’m lost on which ones you are fighting with. |

Not clear as to what you are asking. Is this a tail shift or side shift? A picture will help.

Maybe it’s a tail shifter?
The cup bushings pop onto the balls with a firm smack from a hammer. If you are doing it with the motor in, maybe a pry bar or a reversed clamp to press it on. They do fit |
