Hi,
Have you had the pleasure of replacing the front shifter bushings on a Eurovan? 1993 with a sideways 5 cylinder, stick shift. If so...HOW? I am challenged with how to get my fat ass hands in there. I am starting to think about dropping the motor... Cant get there from above...cant get there from below. If there is an easier way, please enlighten me. Rich |

Ha! The old "you can see it or you can touch it, but not at the same time" trick. I've done them, and have the scars to prove it. If it's the one I think it is, you have to remove the bracket and do the bushing in a press or vise, and replace the ball ends on the cross shaft. Seriously, my forearms are covered with scars from doing jobs like this one. I don't have one here to look at, so I'm looking at the book, and I don't really remember the job, other than is was probably about as difficult as changing all those stupid water lines and fittings ...........
