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?

You might also consider replacing all of the bushings, not just the back ones. There is one in the firewall and the ones in the universal joint. I had problem shifting as well, a tiny bit of slop in the front can add up as you get to the back.
