I'm replacing the 2 rear bushings in my attempts to fix my shifting problems (4th gear goes into 2nd). I bought the bushings from Pelican Parts for my '76 side shifter.
When I slip the shift rod bushing over the rod, the rod is pretty loose. It's about 1/16ths smaller than the bushing. Any thoughts to why it's so loose? |

Shift rod worn down. Found the same thing on my 76. I have a small lathe, so I made some that better fit the rod and the console where the bushing goes. Shifting greatly improved. I did get some pics posted in a thread about 4 years ago. Try the search function for shift and bushings.
