While pulling my shift rod to replace the 3 shift bushings and cone screws, I noticed the crown bushing in back was very loose inside its housing. The hole is sets into is a nice oval. I suppose I'lll go the JB Weld route, and see how that works.
The shift rod itself also looks to be worn where it slides through the crown bushing (see pic). It also looks like it might be bent, which could explain all the wear in the crown bushing housing. I know the bar isn't suppossed to be straight, but I would have though that the ends would at least have to sit on the same 2 planes. Mine doesn't look like it does,at least not exactly. Anyone know if this is how the shift rod is supposed to look, more or less? This is from a '73 2.0 side-shifter. Attached thumbnail(s)

The tail end kicks out a little. I asked the same question. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...c=61676&hl= |

From what I can see, you r shift rod looks "normal" for a rear sideshift bar.

you can only really notice if you put a known good one right beside the suspect one, and even then a subtle bend could give you trouble
