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? |

I didn't even try the hardware store, but I think they would have bushings or something. I made mine out of trash pieces from work. I decided to go with the delrin because it is much softer than bronze. If plastic wears the shift rod, what would metal do to it?
